That articles 124 of the National Constitution and 52 of the Provincial Constitution recognize the original domain of the Province of Santa Cruz of the natural resources existing within the provincial territory.
That under these premises the Province of Santa Cruz and the Argentine Nation consider of great interest the creation of an inter-jurisdictional space for the management of the natural resources existing in the territorial sea.
That the creation of the Marine Interjurisdictional Park should be carried out under legal guidelines, of coordinated administration and management between both jurisdictions attentive to the wealth and environmental diversity presented by the coastal/marítimo provincial environment and the importance of the area for the development of the provincial tourist activity.
