Summary
A new framework categorizes governance dynamics of spiny lobster fisheries into three distinct typologies, revealing how trust and social networks shape conservation outcomes in Sian Ka'an and Banco Chinchorro biosphere reserves. The study identifies participatory governance—marked by equitable decision-making and strong institutions—as critical for sustainable resource management. In contrast, exclusionary and conflict-driven models lack cooperation, leading to weak conservation practices. A third typology highlights transitional phases where communities rebuild social cohesion toward responsible fishing cultures. This approach clarifies the diverse institutional pathways influencing local development trajectories in these UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
