Resumen

Los pescadores submarinos recreativos organizan voluntariamente acciones “bottom-up” de conservación del medio ambiente. Los principales objetivos de estas acciones son apoyar a la investigación en el monitoreo de los ecosistemas marinos, detectar especies invasoras o mitigar los impactos sobre el medio ambiente, como los derivados de la contaminación y la basura. Tales iniciativas comenzaron hace más de 20 años y hoy en día podrían ser facilitadas por las redes sociales. El desarrollo de acciones de conservación “bottom-up” en los pescadores submarinos recreativos deben ser alentadas, apoyadas e integradas en los planes de manejo participativo. Esto es importante para mitigar los potenciales impactos negativos de la pesca submarina recreativa y para catalizar acciones civiles más amplias para la conservación de los ecosistemas marinos.
