How a culture defines success and progress also shapes its environmental awareness. From this premise comes the urgency for communities to understand their connection to marine and coastal ecosystems and the value of that relationship, since these factors allow them to recognize conservation needs and challenges; the environment itself shapes their unique expressions: knowledge, music, gastronomy, and the use of natural resources, among others.

In this sense, when communities recognize this need for conservation, they begin developing research, innovation, and scientific-technological service activities that can promote the generation, transfer, and social appropriation of knowledge. Today, it is also understood that this knowledge must have a regenerative approach, capable of generating positive impact in marine-coastal ecosystems and in the communities that depend on them, transforming scientific and technological advances into tangible solutions that enhance sustainability and socioeconomic well-being.

This approach seeks to consolidate the bioceanic identity of Latin America and the Caribbean, positioning the region as a leader in the sustainable and regenerative management of its ocean wealth.
