Abstract
En las aguas del Atlántico, el Caribe y las Antillas la presencia del pez león (Pterois volitans) —especie invasora de origen indo pacífico— ha alertado, desde hace más de 20 años a autoridades, académicos y comunidades costeras de América por la amenaza que representa para arrecifes y especies marinas locales. Su propagación en el Caribe Mexicano ha estimulado esfuerzos para su control, lo que ha dado pie a cambios en prácticas, políticas y actividades de distintos grupos al intentar incorporarlo a la alimentación, la pesca y a las opciones turísticas. Este artículo analiza desde una perspectiva antropológica, el papel que ha tenido el maritorio como medio de comunicación, recurso y significado en estas transformaciones sociales locales que están integradas en un contexto de gran biodiversidad, diversidad cultural y en un área de dinámico turismo masivo.
Over the last 20 years, the presence of the lionfish -an invasive species originally from the Indo-Pacific- in the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Antilles, has alerted scholars, authorities and coastal communities about the threat posed to reefs and marine species of the continent. The spread of lionfish in the Mexican Caribbean has led to efforts to control the species, which has resulted in changing practices, policies and activities of varied groups in the attempt to incorporate lionfish into food practices, fisheries and tourism options. From an anthropological perspective, this article analyzes the role of the maritorium as a means of transport, resource and meaning in these local social transformations which are embedded in a context of high biodiversity, cultural diversity and dynamic massive tourism.
