Abstract
This report summarizes the results of an 18-month study of coastal and
marine resources development in Colombia. The study was a result of a request
by the Direccion General Maritima y Portuaria (DIMAR) of the Colombian Navy to
the Marine Policy and Ocean Management Center of WHOI and was carried out
jointly with that group. Observations of the present situation and potential
for four sectors are presented--fisheries and aquaculture, marine minerals and
energy, marine transportation and ports, and tourism and coastal development.
The coastal tourism and fisheries sectors appear to be the most promising in
terms of near-term potential. Suggestions for achieving increased economic
and social benefits from these sectors are provided. In addition,
institutional arrangements among the ocean-related agencies in Colombia are
reviewed and recommendations aimed at achieving a higher degree of policy
integration are offered.
