Current analysis of the maritime ecosystem and a contemporary vision of the Peruvian contribution to its preservation

Abstract

Currently, there is an exacerbation of concern for the environmental circumstances that humanity is going through, these go back to decades of continuous contamination of the different ecosystems that, historically, began with the Industrial Revolution. Over the years, environmental spaces such as the maritime have been damaged by human activity. In that context, spaces for dialogue have been established at a global level to evaluate the current conditions in said area. Peru is no stranger to this problem, given that it also suffers due to detriments of pollution on its marine environment; however, it is important to highlight its participation in the conservation of said space through different initiatives, projects and its cooperation in the establishment of agreements and regulations at the national and international levels, respectively.
