The objective of this research is to assess the main social and economic effects on local fishermen in El Golfo de Santa Clara, as a result of the severe fishing restrictions enforced to protect the marine mammal “vaquita” (Phocoena sinus). Sustainable development includes natural resources conservation and the improvement of the social and economic conditions of local inhabitants. In Mexico, the vaquita is in imminent danger of extinction. It is a marine cetacean endemic to the Upper Gulf of California. Conservation measures to save this species, such as gear-switching and transformation subsidies from fishing activities to tourist services, have caused severe social and economic impacts on the local fishermen of this region. Presently, it is estimated that there are only 30 vaquita individuals left in the wild, and none are in captivity. In this study, we conduct surveys of the human local population involved in the incidental bycatch fishing of the vaquita, and also use secondary sources to come up with recommendations, based on taking into account stakeholder needs. For this fishing community the economic and social problems have worsened because currently there are limited economic activity options in the area for the human population, and the vaquita population continues to decline. Recommendations are offered to contribute to the ecological sustainability of this species, and for economic and social sustainability of local fishermen.

This article presents a historical-critical analysis of an 80-year period focused on the discourse regarding the regulation of the abalone fisheries in Mexico; its objective is to describe this commercial activity and to analyze it in a broad context. A review of specialized bibliography and legal-regulatory instruments was carried out for this purpose, as well as critical analysis of discourse and conceptual history. The evident separation of the political discourse in two periods stands out among the results obtained, as well as the identification of the transformations and legitimization of a discourse that displaces the sector in this period. One of the limitations of the research was the lack of empirical data from the main actors, that is, the fishermen. The originality of the study is centered on the fact that there was no research to that date on the critical analysis of the abalone fisheries’ discourse, despite the fact of them being important fisheries in Mexico, socioeconomically and environmentally. Lastly, as a finding, it can be affirmed that, in the historical conceptualization, the corpus can be divided into two periods, and gradual transformations and the legitimation of the discourse were identified.

This chapter explores how the regulation of plant genetic resources intersects with legal regimes granting intellectual property rights in Mexico. Our analysis is directed towards addressing the argument that regimes governing access to plant genetic resources and the sharing of benefits derived from their commercial exploitation could discourage research and innovation in fields that rely on such resources as inputs. To engage with this critique, we examine the relationship between plant genetic resources and intellectual property, because trends in intellectual property protection may elucidate research and innovation dynamics. Our findings surrounding applications for patents and plant breeders’ rights in Mexico indicate that intellectual property activity related to plant genetic resources can intensify even as new frameworks for the governance of these resources are designed and popularized. However, it is important to note that it is still unknown whether the implementation of a national regime based on the Nagoya Protocol in Mexico might impact the activities of users and providers of genetic resources, including in relation to intellectual property protection.
