The objective of this project is to obtain the first study that generates a baseline of the state of sustainability of WW in one of the regions with the highest tourism in Mexico, in addition to achieving a first change in the perspective and ideas of some of the key actors and the first accords of change of activities with a view to improving WW management in BCS Mexico.

This project will be developed in three stages of contribution. The first will be a workshop with the various stakeholders and key actors that are related to WW in Baja California Sur (BCS), which will publicize the knowledge generated in recent years by PRIMMA researchers in the area and will also allow the participants to identify the importance of this information and to encourage them to generate their proposals to improve WW management in their region. Second, perhaps the most important contribution will be a document that will include the results of the surveys from the educational, scientific, governmental, recreational, biological and socioeconomic sectors. The same document will include recommendations addressed to the different sectors based on the study of different measures applied internationally and in Mexico, which can be applied adequately in the two regions. The third contribution will be an informative workshop detailing the final results of this study. Based on the results and suggested recommendations, the key actors will generate ideas for actions that might improve the different sectors, and agreements will be established for the short, medium and long term of the WW industry.
