Abstract(s)
Os oceanos são críticos para a sobrevivência e o bem-estar da Humanidade,
pelo que as oportunidades que encerram estão ao alcance e são um desafio para
todos nós. Longe vão os tempos em que o mar separava os países e os povos –
hoje é o mar que os aproxima e lhes confere poder e competitividade.
Sendo um facto que sempre que Portugal se voltou para o mar prosperou, é
objetivo do presente trabalho conhecer as razões que contribuíram para que o
país chegasse à atual situação. A pertinência desta questão e a inquietação em
que nos deixa leva-nos para a questão primordial, pois temos em mente a nossa
localização priveligiada no contexto do Atlântico e uma histórica ligação ao mar.
Quais as oportunidades e desafios que Portugal enfrenta?
A exploração dos recursos marinhos abrange várias áreas que vão desde a
alimentação à investigação, passando pela saúde, economia, energias renováveis,
biotecnologia, indústria, transportes, turismo, portos, entre outras. A exploração
adequada destes recursos tão diversificados pressupõe uma abordagem
multidisciplinar e uma gestão criteriosa que visem um futuro sustentável.
Através de uma metodologia que assenta na revisão de literatura, com
pesquisa e análise bibliográficas sobre o mar e as suas potencialidades, procurouse
uma argumentação relevante que evidencia a importância do mar para o
desenvolvimento sustentável e em particular para o futuro de Portugal.
Apesar das conclusões serem apenas breves notas de um tema tão vasto como
é o mar, destacam-se as oportunidades e desafios que este recurso coloca à
disposição para que possamos ter a ousadia de fazer crescer Portugal e acreditar
na sua prosperidade.
Oceans are critical to the humanity survival and well-being, so the opportunities enclosed are on our hands and they are a challenge to all of us. Far from now are the days when the sea separated countries and people – now it’s the sea that approaches them, giving power and competitiveness. It’s a fact that Portugal became prosper when it saw the sea was a way to go further. The goal of this work is to know and understand the reasons that led our country to the current situation. The importance of this issue, having in mind that Portugal has a privileged location in the Atlantic and an historical connection with the sea, leads us the main question. What are the opportunities and challenges that Portugal will have to face? The exploitation of marine resources is done in several areas since food to research through health, economy, renewable energy, biotechnology, industry, transport, tourism, ports, among others. The appropriate exploitation of these variety of resources requires a multidisciplinary approach and a careful management in order to create a sustainable future. Through a methodology based on literature reviewing, bibliographical research and analysis about the sea and its potentials, it was tried to show relevant arguments, highlighting the sea importance to the sustainable development and particularly to Portugal’s future. Despite conclusions are only brief notes of such a vast subject as it is the sea, we wanted to highlight the opportunities and challenges, which are at our disposal and let us dare to make Portugal’s growth and to believe in its prosperity.
