Resumo

La alteración humana de los ecosistemas marinos es importante, y continúa crecien-do como resultado de las diferentes amenazas antropogénicas. Frente a esta problemática, el término �resiliencia� examina la capacidad de los sistemas socioecológicos para superar un es-trés y recuperarse o, incluso, para endogeneizar los cambios y transcenderlos. Este trabajo constituye un avance teórico que examina la magnitud y las características de la resiliencia co-mo capacidad para absorber los cambios que sufren los ecosistemas marinos. Igualmente, se exploran las relaciones entre la capacidad adaptativa de los ecosistemas ante las modificacio-nes del conocimiento local de los usuarios sobre los recursos marinos, así como los atributos de una gobernanza sostenible, y las interacciones entre usuarios e instituciones formales y no in-formales. Por último, se presenta una discusión y una reflexión sobre el principio de precaución como el paradigma universalmente válido para la nueva gestión de los recursos marinos.
