Abstract
Coastal ecosystems in tropical areas have a very complex biodiversity where, in a small space, a large number of species is concentrated. The most common tropical ecosystems, coral reefs, seagrass beds, beaches, coastal dunes, coastal lagoons and mangrove forests, are found along the Mexican coast, the target of this analysis. Depending on geological, climatic, and nutrient conditions, some, or all of these ecosystems may be present in any one coastal unit. Within a very small distance, it is common to find several of these ecosystems which can be preserved or altered by human use. Based on the work by Silva et al., (2021), through the application of the DESCR framework (Drivers - Exchanges - State of environment – Consequences - Responses, Silva et al., (2020)) analyses were made of more than 20 Mexican case studies to assess the effectiveness of nature-based solutions.
