Omar Sánchez Becerril

I am a PhD candidate in Fisheries and Aquaculture Bioeconomics at Universidad Marista de Mérida. My work focuses on the social dimensions of marine conservation, particularly social equity in community based fisheries conservation. I am interested in understanding how conservation initiatives affect fishing communities, especially in terms of benefit distribution, participation in decision making, and perceptions of fairness. My research examines these issues within social ecological systems and fisheries governance, with the goal of contributing to conservation strategies that are not only ecologically effective but also socially fair and legitimate for the communities involved.
