| Sumario: | San Blas Bay Multiple Use Nature Reserve is an area of great significance for conserving marine biodiversity in Argentina. The work analyzes the reserve's environmental history concerning coastal-marine asset exploitation and characterizes the relationship between society and nature in recent years. The results of this study allow us to conclude that in Bahia San Blas prevails irrational exploitation of nature, with a utilitarian and predatory mentality. Overexploitation of various coastal-marine species (pinnipeds, chondrichthyans, among others), over the course of history, has adversely affected their populations. To reduce environmental degradation, it is necessary to transform the looting model driven by short-term economic profitability into an ecocentric model which values and understands the complexity of the environment and recognizes nature as a subject of rights. Sustainability cannot be achieved with the declaration of a protected area alone, but rather by reexamining the current development model as a whole. |
