Zona costera; Ordenamiento; Desarrollo turísticoAbstract
Costa Rica has a wide marine-coastal area. This area has gained more importance due to the many activities that are carried out in it and to the great tourist development. In the marine-coastal area biophysical aspects together with human activities interact in different courses of action in time and geographical space, which have to be analyzed in an independent and careful manner. For this reason, it is necessary to develop national guidelines for a coastal regulation to be made, which must come up once basic studies to know the environment are made, and then execute the measures to develop this regulation and use it in a rational way.
