Marine Prosperity in Latin America and the Caribbean

How can the blue economy become an engine of prosperity for Latin America? This whitepaper explores the potential of a model that integrates marine conservation, innovation, business development, and community well-being to transform coastal economies. Drawing on global trends, investment opportunities, success stories, and an analysis of the Blue Economy initiative of the Marine Prosperity Areas in the Gulf of California, the document shows that protecting the oceans and generating prosperity are not opposing goals, but complementary ones. A guide for companies, governments, investors, and organizations seeking to drive sustainable solutions with economic, social, and environmental impact.
