The Kanan Kay Alliance (AKK) is an intersectoral initiative for sustainable fishing management and marine conservation in the Yucatan Peninsula. In 2021, AKK, in collaboration with members and donors, launched a mobile application to report fisheries complaints to facilitate community surveillance, a dissemination video regarding fishing refuge zones, and a manual describing the processes to design these refuge zones. During 2021, four new organizations joined AKK, which now has 36 active members. In addition, fishing communities received 17 training workshops in community surveillance, the use of the fishing report app, fundamental rights, digital communication, as well as self-awareness and negotiation in the fishing sector.
