Overview

Randomized trial examines social equity perceptions in small-scale fisheries, suggesting improvements for governance.

Key Points

  • The analysis aims to assess social equity perceptions and economic inequality among small-scale fishers in Celestun, Mexico.
  • Evaluated social equity through recognitional, procedural, and distributional dimensions.
  • Calculated economic inequality using metrics such as Gini G, Atkinson A(ϵ), Hoover H, and Theil U.
  • Compared perceptions between Fishing Refuge Zone Management Committee members and non-participating fishers.
  • Members of the Management Committee had more positive perceptions of procedural equity than non-participants (NC).
  • High revenue concentration was shown with Gini G=0.58, Atkinson A(ϵ)=0.52, Hoover H=0.45, and Theil U=0.73.
  • Significant differences in equity perceptions were found, particularly regarding the fairness of decision processes.
