El trabajo articulado ha permitido fortalecer las capacidades de los comuneros que son contratados como guardaparques y de los que forman parte de los comités de vigilancia. Las informaciones sobre las amenazas son articuladas también con las autoridades que tienen competencias fuera de la RNM, para coordinar acciones hacia la conservación y aprovechamiento sostenible de los ecosistemas y recursos.

En el caso de la Reserva Nacional Matsés, se han identificado ocho sectores, tres de ellos tienen un nivel de vulnerabilidad bajo, ya que no se han reportado amenazas, son de difícil acceso, no existen centros poblados y la zonificación del área protegida restringe ciertos usos a pesar de la existencia de recursos de interés. Otros tres sectores, tienen un nivel de vulnerabilidad alto, se han reportado amenazas y existen centros poblados colindantes, cuentan con fácil y múltiples accesos, cuentan con recursos de interés que vienen siendo aprovechados, y la zonificación permite el uso de recursos bajo ciertos lineamientos. Finalmente, los últimos dos sectores, tienen un nivel de vulnerabilidad medio, principalmente porque si bien cuentan con amenazas y centros poblados cercanos al área protegida, además del aprovechamiento de recursos, la accesibilidad es limitada.

It is important to prioritize the most important questions first and focus resources towards answering them. 

Accessing ocean-based technology to collect the relevant data which is both user-friendly and affordable can be challenging.

The breeding of kelp seedlings is an essential first step in the cultivation of seaweed. There is no public Macrocystis seed bank so Kelp Blue has had to work with partners around the world to sustainably collect spores from wild kelp beds and transport them back to The Netherlands where Hortimare then optimizes Kelp Blue's hatchery system and seeding technique to get to predictable and consistent yield. They share all the information that is needed to make the farm successful. This as a win-win for both parties. Hortimare gets more and more reliable data and knowledge to be able to develop a certain standard and Kelp Blue can translate their findings to predictability of operation.

Sustainably sourcing material, a breeding programme and a property set up hatchery are the cornerstone of any seweed farmer's project.

• Teamwork: Those involved in the development of the reports need to work in close collaboration with those responsible for developing the tool to ensure that the key results are properly selected and displayed

• Structure: Organize the story through different themes, titles, taglines and sections

• Be concise: Limit the size of the texts to the key messages. If the user is interested in learning more, reports with the full information should be available

• Technical terms: Whenever possible, avoid using difficult and/or technical language (including acronyms) that might be incomprehensible for a wider audience. If it cannot be avoided, better to add the meaning

• Responsive web tool: Depending on the type and format of the content, it might be difficult to ensure that the tool is sufficiently responsive across different internet browsers, resolutions and electronic devices

• Beta version: It is recommended to develop a beta version (pre-release) and then ask some users to play with it before the launch

• Plan some time for understanding your target group and awareness raising before you initiate the first direct contact. Preparing the ground and being well prepared may save you time later.
• Work together with a professional agency to develop and implement your communication strategy.
• Identify possible change agents in the private sector that could motivate other businessmen/women to engage in the project.
• Encourage peer-to-peer dialogue and exchange between private sector actors to build a relationship, increase trust and learn from each other.
• Offer planning and training formats that are suitable for the private sector context and consider local needs and realities (e.g. business executives normally do not have time to participate in day-long participatory workshops).
• Recognize realities, limitations, concerns and existing risks for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors especially during pandemics like COVID-19 or other crises.

1. The use of new platforms and digital tools can sometimes be a barrier for some members of coastal communities, so training and constant monitoring is required.
2. Some communities have limited internet service. This can lead to disinterest in continuing to contribute to the platform, as a connection is needed for photographs to be uploaded to the platform.
3. One way to motivate communities to use Naturalista is to provide feedback and follow up on the records they document through their photographs, sharing their use and the comments made by others. In some cases, the photographs have even identified new species and range extensions for Mexico and worldwide.
4. Having photographic equipment suitable for use in the high seas is very important, since going out to sea every day can document incredible things.

1. Training and community participation in climate change monitoring provides information to improve decision-making, mitigate the effects on fisheries, and adapt. Monitoring also provides tools to participate in discussion forums with the government, academia, civil society organizations, and the fishing sector itself.
2. Just as participation is key, so is the systematization and rigor of data collection in conjunction with the fishing communities.
3. Multisectoral participation allows better decisions to be made in terms of fishing and conservation, integrating traditional and scientific knowledge.
4. The information obtained from oceanographic monitoring has empowered communities and given them a better understanding of the impacts of climate change. They have become an example of multi-sectoral partnerships, have participated in national and international conferences, and have inspired other communities and the government sector to replicate this effort.

- Stakeholders don't always have the same interests and goals

- Conflict between the stakeholders in the alliances are common because of their interests 

- The thoroughness of legal aspects while dealing with the local bureaucracy is needed

- The awareness of greater good has to be evoked to all the stake holders, time and again
