Among the various ecological criteria defined in the Agricultural Use Policy
established in PROETSLC, actions to prevent chemical discharges into the PVE are
expected which, according to the environmental problems described above, it is
evident that these actions have not been executed yet and this situation may worsen
in the future due to economic and population growth, and also because of the activities planned for the coastal lagoon.
This reflects the need of implementing the third generation strategic environmental assessment consistent with the use and integration of these instruments to give
greater certainty to environmental sustainability as quoted in Ahumada-Cervantes
et al. (2012).
18.2.1 Policy Instruments That Support Sustainable
Use of C. acutus
At a national status, the C. acutus is under Mexican Environmental Standard NOM059- SEMARNAT-2010 (NOM-059). That is, it is categorized under those that could
potentially be threatened by factors that adversely affect their viability, so the need
to foster recovery and conservation, or recovery and conservation of associated species populations (SEMARNAT 2014; Reyes Herrera et al. 2015). However, the
same NOM-059 in the criterion 6.3.6 states that the exclusion of a species (e.g., C.
acutus) from the list is feasible when that category is subject to special protection,
and it determines that protective measures have been and continue to be appropriate
and sufficient to stop the pressures that were forced on such species, and therefore
its viability can be ensured (DOF 2010).
About this fact, in early 2014 the SEMARNAT through its website issued a
notice of updating the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 to submit proposals for inclusion, exclusion or change of status of the species list risk of Annex III of the norm
itself. This means that if the study of populations of C. acutus in the PVE demonstrates the feasibility of their harvesting, this would be a first step in the national
context to support the exclusion of C. acutus from the special protection category
where it is currently registered in the norm.
