dc.description.abstractMangrove forests support ecosystems, livelihoods, and cultural practices. However, their degradation threatens the utilization of mangroves by human communities, causing economic losses, particularly impacting local livelihoods. Cost-effective, community-led restoration and conservation efforts are essential to enhancing the ecological and economic resilience of coastal communities. This study investigated Community-Based Mangrove Management (CBMM) in Sucre, Colombia, where mangroves provide essential goods and services to human communities. We employed a discourse analysis technique (Q) and Geographic Information System integration, including analysis of remotely sensed data to identify mangrove cover trends (1986-1993 and 2017-2021). Q methodology identified two main discourses: "Optimism in CBMM" and "A call to enhance CBMM," highlighting issues such as lack of administrative skills, economic resources, land tenure, and socio-environmental conflicts. Interviews identified tourism expansion as a major driver of mangrove loss, threatening the ecosystem's ability to provide resources to local communities. The temporal analysis supported these trends, especially in Rinc & oacute;n del Mar, where tourism has increased. This study emphasizes the economic and ecological challenges faced by CBMM members, highlighting the need to integrate Local Ecological Knowledge and community perspectives to guide mangrove conservation policy that emphasizes the benefits of mangrove forests and their non-timber forest products. Los manglares sostienen ecosistemas, medios de vida y pr & aacute;cticas culturales. Sin embargo, su degradaci & oacute;n amenaza el uso de los manglares por parte de las comunidades humanas, provocando p & eacute;rdidas econ & oacute;micas que impactan especialmente los medios de vida locales. Los esfuerzos de restauraci & oacute;n y conservaci & oacute;n, liderados por las comunidades y de bajo costo, son esenciales para mejorar tanto la resiliencia ecol & oacute;gica como econ & oacute;mica de las comunidades costeras. Este estudio investig & oacute; la Gesti & oacute;n Comunitaria de Manglares (CBMM, por sus siglas en ingl & eacute;s) en Sucre, Colombia, donde los manglares proporcionan bienes y servicios esenciales a las comunidades humanas. Empleamos la t & eacute;cnica de an & aacute;lisis del discurso (Q) e integraci & oacute;n de Sistemas de Informaci & oacute;n Geogr & aacute;fica, incluyendo el an & aacute;lisis de datos de teledetecci & oacute;n para identificar tendencias de la cobertura de manglares (1986-1993 y 2017-2021). La metodolog & iacute;a Q identific & oacute; dos discursos principales: 'Optimismo en la CBMM' y 'Un llamado a fortalecer la CBMM,' destacando problem & aacute;ticas como la falta de habilidades administrativas, recursos econ & oacute;micos, tenencia de la tierra y conflictos socioambientales. Las entrevistas se & ntilde;alaron la expansi & oacute;n del turismo como un factor importante de p & eacute;rdida de manglares, amenazando la capacidad del ecosistema para proveer recursos a las comunidades locales. El an & aacute;lisis temporal respald & oacute; estas tendencias, especialmente en Rinc & oacute;n del Mar, donde el turismo ha aumentado. Este estudio enfatiza los desaf & iacute;os econ & oacute;micos y ecol & oacute;gicos que enfrentan los miembros de la CBMM, subrayando la necesidad de integrar el conocimiento ecol & oacute;gico local y las perspectivas comunitarias para guiar una pol & iacute;tica de conservaci & oacute;n de manglares que destaque los beneficios de los manglares y sus productos forestales no maderables.-
