Overview
In Mexico, a white snook FIP is being carried out in the Reserva de la Biósfera Marismas Nacionales Nayarit (RBMNN) Natural Protected Area. The main objective of this FIP is to make the white snook fishery sustainable. RBMNN is located in the northwest of Nayarit State. It is comprised of a large network of coastal lagoons, mangrove forests, marshes, and deltas that represent between 15% and 20% of the total mangrove ecosystems in the country. The white snook fishery has a high economic value and in 2015, Nayarit was the largest producer in the country with a total of 1,303 tons. Approximately 435 vessels participate in this fishery and the 90% of fishermen use gillnets.
In the present period, it was decided to change the FIP for white snook to a multispecific FIP with the purpose of expanding the improvements to other fisheries of environmental and economic importance.

- To improve the performance of the finfish fishery moving towards sustainability by June 2025
- To achieve an organized finfish fishery by December 2022
- To regulate the fishing effort of the white snook fishery by December 2022
- To make the finfish fishery competitive by December 2023
- To cover the needs of the national and international market by December 2023
- To ensure product quality of the catch by December 2023
- To develop technological processes that give white snook fishery high commercial value by December 2021
- To conserve finfish fishery ecosystems by protecting areas and fishing refuges by December 2023
