In the southern Gulf of Mexico (sGoM), coastal-marine waters are areas of high biodiversity where multiple activities overlap, such as small-scale and industrial fishing, oil and gas extraction, and conservation through Protected Natural Areas. This study aims to identify alternatives that support marine sustainability and spatial planning, enabling the organized coexistence of these activities. Information was gathered from fishing communities along the coasts of Tabasco and Campeche, including data from interviews with fishers, onboard observations, GPS tracking from small vessels, and meetings to understand sector needs and conflicts. The study also includes the location of oil platforms and other marine infrastructure installed during the study period. Preliminary results were based on over 1184 fishing trips and 21 small-scale fisheries targeting 43 commercial species. The potential interactions (PI) between small-scale fisheries and the oil marine infrastructure were null primarily (49.2%), 30.1% were low, 15% were medium, 4.6% were high, and only 1.1% were very high. Of those, the red snapper (PI = 2.2%), southern stingray (PI = 1.5%), gafftopsail sea catfish (PI = 0.9%), and snook (PI = 0.4%) fisheries had high-very high interactions due to their proximity to oil infrastructure. The study highlights critical interaction zones and explores the potential of offshore structures as Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs).
