The results presented below indicate a loss of ecosystems, an increase in bare soils in ejido pastures, variations in the species caught in coastal fisheries, complete loss of vegetation, and a change in the surface water hydrology in aquaculture areas. This process has been linked to differentiated use of the soil and of the benefits of nature in ten localities, which have been undergoing reconfiguration and modification in the productive context, such as the food chains of the ecosystem. This has been the case with the Hermosillo Coast, an agricultural and fishing region located in the west of Sonora state that in recent decades registered an intensive process of transformation, caused by the spatial, territorial, and temporal confluence of three economic activities that we will call utilizations or inductive factors: charcoal production in ejidos, capture of marine species by coastal communities, and shrimp farming. This has allowed the coastal areas to be characterized as transition zones of high fragility and as complex systems with a diversity of marine and land resources (Castillo, Ulloa and Alvarado, 2009) that consolidate a regional overview of a multisectoral nature. In recent decades, Mexico's coastal regions have undergone social, productive, territorial, and ecological changes, highlighted by population migration, development of new economic activities, human settlements with various levels of income, and overexploitation of natural resources. Palabras clave: territorio, camaronicultura, producción de carbón vegetal, pesca ribereña, costa de Hermosillo. Finalmente se analiza un conjunto de sinergias que, en algunos casos, articulan positivamente el aprovechamiento de las tres actividades, mientras que en otros provocan competencia. Los resultados señalan: pérdida de ecosistemas de mezquite, incremento de suelos desnudos en agostaderos, variación de especies de captura ribereña, pérdida de vegetación y modificación de hidrología en áreas acuícolas. Se obtuvieron datos por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas y construcción de indicadores territoriales. Keywords: territory, shrimp farming, charcoal production, coastal fisheries, Hermosillo coast.Įn este artículo se analizan las implicaciones territoriales que generan tres actividades productivas en la franja costera de Hermosillo, Sonora: elaboración de carbón vegetal, captura de especies marinas y cultivo de camarón. Finally, the article analyzes a set of synergies that positively articulate the three activities in some cases, but generate unhealthy competition in others.
The results indicate a loss of mesquite ecosystems, an increased denuding of rangeland, wide variation in the catch of various species in coastal fisheries, complete loss of vegetation in some places, and a change in the hydrology in aquaculture zones. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and the generation of a complex database. This article discusses the territorial implications generated by three productive activities in the Hermosillo, Sonora coastal strip: charcoal production, harvesting of marine species, and shrimp farms.
