Abstract

According to a prospective study carried out between 2013 and 2015 by the Argentinean Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation, the current contribution of the maritime sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country is only 1.5% (concentrated in fishing activity). But it was estimated that in 2035 between 10 and 15% of GDP could be achieved if more investment is made in research, technological innovation and productive development. In this context, the Pampa Azul initiative represents a large-scale State policy to install the Argentine Sea, for the first time, in the development agenda of our country. This paper analyzes the main characteristics of this initiative and particularly the Law N° 27.167 (PROMAR), promulgated in 2015, which establishes a minimum of 250 million pesos per year to carry it forward. It also shows the current situation of Pampa Azul initiative in the context of the change of signand politics of the National Government.
