The most used management unit in fisheries is limited to the target species and their associated species. Because spatial components can facilitate the understanding of the human-environment relationship, the objective of this study was to adapt a methodology to regionalize and characterize social-ecological systems (SES) for assessment and management of small-scale fisheries of Campeche, Mexico. Eight regions of the fishing SES were identified with a combination of unique characteristics from the biophysical context, the catch volume and fishing effort, and the fleet dynamics.

Keywords : spatial management; complex system; artisanal fisheries.
