According to Brasil de Fato, an online newspaper and radio agency headquartered in São Paulo, the initiative with the opening of the two protected areas is the result of two decades of research and work by ecologists, combining biodiversity conservation with the promotion of strategic economic activities in the region.

The initiative created a 558.000 - hectare buffer zone and includes strict fishing bans iof the area protecting endangered dolphins such as the La Plata and Lahille Dolphins and serving as a refuge for various species including birds, sharks, and marine mammals, such as elephants seals and migratory sea lions from Patagonia.

With the creation of these areas, predatory fishing will be eliminated, allowing the recovery of fishing resourcesf beaches for the benefit of local communities.

The new protected spaces, which will cover more than one million hectares, will also promote eco - tourism, scientific research and environmental education.
