The Honduran Atlántida Seascape (300,000ha) has 21 coastal communities dependent on its small-scale fisheries (SSF), particularly reef finfish and spiny lobster. Harmful fisheries practices and limited national recognition of the SSF sector contribute significantly to biodiversity decline, exacerbated by Covid-19 and severe hurricane seasons. Through ddressing fisheries threats, improving ecological and social monitoring, building recognition of SSF’s importance, supporting responsible SSF market improvements and reinforcing marine governance platforms, we will strengthen ecological and socioeconomic resilience across the seascape.
