This article provides a descriptive background of environmental resources, activities, and social pressures on the Argentine coast and identifies existing and potential governance arrangements and management strategies. Argentina has a diversified coastal zone. Geography, demography, and issues determine essentially four coastal regions. The problems motivating consideration of coastal management are erosion, domestic and industrial pollution, and impacts from urban development. These are concentrated in the Buenos Aires metropolitan region and, to a lesser extent, along the Province of Buenos Aires. The remaining 52 percent of the coast to the south—Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego— have localized problems associated with nodes of development. This urban and rural split suggests that Argentina should have two different packages of organizational arrangements and strategies for managing its coastal resources and environments. |
