For 15 years, COBI, together with the participation of the fishing communities, has worked on the design, monitoring and implementation of marine reserves with the three existing instruments in the country: voluntary reserves, core areas of marine protected areas and fishing refuge zones. The following information is the monitoring data from visual census of fish in 36 marine reserves located in different regions of Mexico (Gulf of California, North Pacific and Mesoamerican Reef system).

The data described here have been embargoed.
