Since 2004, the FGC has contributed to ensuring that the marine-coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of California are healthy and interconnected to provide corresponding ecosystem goods and services through monitoring of PAs and financing conservation subprojects operated by local organizations in the northwest of the country. After 18 years of operation, it is important to renew this mechanism in light of the region's current threats and partner conditions. That is why, during 2023, the FGC's performance as a financing mechanism to conserve the representative network of marine-coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of California and the North Pacific within the framework of national and international conservation instruments (National Biodiversity Strategy, Sustainable Development Goals, among others) will be evaluated.

During the second semester of 2022, the FGC financed thirteen subprojects executed in the territory by eleven different local organizations, which contribute to the conservation of the network of marine-coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of California and the North Pacific region. The strategies that partners carry out in the field are mainly aimed at strengthening fisheries and promoting nature-based tourism, which has allowed them to cope with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring the conservation of their marine and coastal resources, and improving social fabric and the well-being of the local population. The subprojects include environmentally responsible and economically viable activities focused on fisheries management, sustainable tourism, and species monitoring.
