Chile is an ocean country with one of the Planet's largest Exclusive Economic Zones and a coastline measuring over 6,400 kilometers. As a fundamental part of Chile's development, the ocean thus offers many opportunities but also challenges in order to reconcile its conservation and sustainable use. Bearing this in in mind is in our national interest to take action to protect the ocean and to align the policies and efforts being undertaken with international experience and best practices.
