Mar del Plata presents Blue Ports Initiative for sustainable development

The Mar del Plata Regional Port Consortium has presented the ‘Blue Ports Initiative’ roadmap to public and private sector representatives, academic institutions, and fishing organizations. The project aims to implement sustainability criteria established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

Marcos Gutiérrez, president of the Consortium, stated that the initiative seeks to establish a council to consolidate a sustainable port by balancing economic growth, social development, and environmental protection. The roadmap aligns with the FAO’s 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on biomass conservation and ensuring safe, dignified working conditions for the local workforce.
