Análisis interacción Mar-Tierra como base de la gestión de zonas costeras: estudio comparativo entre Argentina y Uruguay.

Abstract

Land and sea are inherently connected through multiple and complex social-ecological interactions that strongly influence people's livelihoods and well-being. This paper focuses on land-sea interactions (LSI). Through a methodological approach built in an interdisciplinary way and the analysis of a comparative regional case between the South coast of Mar del Plata (Argentina) and the West coast of Montevideo (Uruguay), the objectives of the paper include the identification of land and marine uses with mutual implications, recording these interactions analyzing their degree of compatibility, and analytically comparing the results in both case studies. Four stages are developed for this purpose. The result is expressed in a series of matrices and tables that allow the detection of common or specific themes for the elaboration of recommendations and key messages of the land-sea-land analysis. Both study areas presented similar land-sea uses and activities, as well as the proportion of positive and conflicting interactions. The analysis of the commonalities identified that the average conflicts are related to the spatial and temporal coexistence of coastal-marine uses and activities. The differences were manifested by activities developed in one area and not in another, by the modality and typology of development or because common interactions were not recorded temporally and spatially. The research contributed to the construction of conceptual and methodological consensus on land-sea-land interactions. These were applied respectively on land and at sea in both pilot case studies.
