Resumen
La percepción ambiental como herramienta de educación
y sensibilización a la conservación de los recursos marinos,
fue implementada en la liberación de 102.000 juveniles de
Lutjanus guttatus con la participación activa de pescadores
artesanales, estudiantes, padres de familia y educadores en
el Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica. Se determinó la percepción
sobre el efecto ambiental de las jornadas de liberación en
310 participantes. Se encontró que fueron los pescadores
quienes presentaron el mayor conocimiento sobre este tipo
de actividades y además de considerar en su mayoría, que
las jornadas podrían aumentar la sensibilización hacia la
disminución de la sobrepesca. El 80,1% de los padres de
familia afirmaron que este tipo de actividades aumenta la
conciencia ambiental de los participantes hacia la protección
de los recursos marinos. Las respuestas con respecto a
la relación entre las actividades de liberación y el aumento
de los ingresos entre los pescadores no fueron consistentes,
sin embargo, entre educadores y entrevistados entre 11-19
años presentaron el menor grado de conocimiento acerca
de estas actividades ambientales. Se considera que liberaciones
de peces marinos que incluyen la participación activa
de la población, educa y sensibiliza para la conservación
de los recursos marino-costeros.
The article evaluates the environmental perception about the juvenile releases of Lutjanus guttatus as an education and awareness tool for the conservation of the marine resources of the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica. A total of 102,000 juveniles were released with the active participation of artisanal fishermen, students, parents and educators. The perception of 310 participants about the environmental effect of the release days was determined. It was concluded the fishermen had the greatest knowledge on the topic and most of them pointed out that this initiative may help increase awareness on the reduction of overfishing. 80.1% of parents considered that this type of activity increases the environmental awareness of the participants towards the protection of marine resources. The answers regarding the relationship between the release activities and the increase of income among fishermen not were consisten. However, teachers and interviewees between 11-19 years old revealed the lowest degree of knowledge on these environmental activities. It is considered that releases of marine fish that include the active participation of the population raise awareness on the conservation of marine coastal resources.
