In this article, we propose that ecosystem services (ES) should be studied integrating social participation and the narrative of social actors. We analyzed the ES literature (1996-2020) in Latin America (LA), basing our review on the concept that the study of this topic should be transdisciplinary and post-normal (i.e.

- - Coastal zones require local participative governance for sustainability, with a lack of it leading to conflicts among social actors in regions like Chiloé Island, a key area for fisheries and aquaculture in Chile.
- - The current ecological state of Chiloé's coastal zone was analyzed using the DPSIR model, revealing issues such as decreased coastal species, eutrophication, and pollution caused by increased fisheries and aquaculture activities.
- - Validation from local households and experts showed differing perceptions on conflicts and solutions, prompting the proposal of three ideas for improving social-ecological governance in Chiloé's marine ecosystems.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how brainstorming techniques can help create conceptual models for managing physical-ecological-social systems, specifically in the case of the Aysén fjord and watershed in Southern Chile.
- These methods demonstrate effectiveness in situations where there are clear distinctions between experts and non-experts participating in the management process.
- The findings suggest that the proposed methodologies can enhance decision-making in complex environmental management scenarios.
