Mazatlán Bay is located in the northwest of the Mexican Pacifi c Ocean; it is a popular place for national and international beach vacations. Th ere is a small colony of sea lions, Zalophus californianus (Lesson, 1828) in an area called “Roca Tortuga (RT)” which is included in a protected natural area 2 km from the coast and is considered a tourist attraction. Recreational boats carry out visitor encounters and therefore come into close contact with sea lions. However, there is no direct control over tourist visits to the colony during the high season. Th e objective of this research was to evaluate the experience of tourists in this colony. Surveys were used to analyze the tourist perception towards the conservation of sea lions and direct observations (tourist-sea lion interactions) were made to validate the results. Less than 15% of people received some kind of information about the biology or conservation of sea lions. Th is research attempts to suggest tourism management actions to reduce the possible impacts of human presence on sea lions resting on the rock, including limiting the total number of visitors, limiting the number of the boat at peak times of visits, implementing an ecotourism guide that understands the importance of this marine mammal education program, protecting this species of marine mammal, and establishing a stronger government presence at the site. Assessing local wildlife populations is highly relevant to achieving eff ective conservation goals; however, it is diffi cult to carry out adequate evaluations when the study sites are the places of tourist visit which are diffi cult to access and when this species is constantly subjected to vulnerable to human disturbance during tourist observations. La bahía de Mazatlán está ubicada en el noroeste del Océano Pacífico Mexicano, es un sitio popular para las vacaciones de playa nacionales e internacionales. Hay una pequeña colonia de lobos marinos Zalophus californianus (Lesson, 1828) en una zona denominada “Roca Tortuga (RT)” incluida en un área natural protegida, a 2 km de la costa, que se considera una atracción turística. Los barcos recreativos realizan los encuentros de los visitantes, y entran en contacto con los lobos marinos. Sin embargo, no existe un control directo sobre las visitas turísticas a la colonia en temporada alta. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la experiencia de los turistas a esta colonia de lobos marinos. Se emplearon encuestas para analizar su percepción hacia la conservación de los lobos marinos y se elaboraron observaciones directas (interacciones turista-lobo marino) para validar los resultados. Menos del 15% de las personas recibió algún tipo de información sobre la biología o conservación de los lobos marinos. Esta investigación intenta sugerir acciones de gestión turística para reducir los posibles impactos de la presencia humana en los lobos marinos que descansan en la roca, que incluyen: limitar el número total de visitantes, y de embarcaciones en los momentos pico de visitas, implementar una guía de ecoturismo que explique la importancia de este programa de educación sobre mamíferos marinos, proteger a esta especie de mamíferos marinos y establecer una presencia gubernamental más fuerte en el sitio. La evaluación de la poblaciones de fauna silvestre locales es de gran relevancia para alcanzar metas de conservación efectivas; sin embargo, resulta complejo realizar evaluaciones adecuadas cuando los sitios de estudio que son los lugares de visita turística son difícil acceso y cuando esta especie está siendo vulnerada constantemente al disturbio humano durante las observaciones turísticas. |
