Abstract

Los ecosistemas marinos y costeros son importantes por los bienes y servicios que proveen a la sociedad. A pesar de su importancia, estos ecosistemas están cada vez más expuestos a diferentes tipos de amenazas por prácticas humanas o fenómenos naturales, lo que ha causado una pérdida acelerada de ecosistemas y sus servicios. Para evitar este deterioro, a nivel mundial se han implementado Áreas Marinas Protegidas (AMPs); estas figuras legales buscan conservar, preservar y restaurar ecosistemas marinos que han sido afectados o se encuentran en peligro. El presente estudio busca estimar, a través de la metodología de valoración contingente (VC), el valor que los buzos recreativos (turistas especializados) asignan a un incremento de la superficie del sistema de áreas marinas protegidas de Colombia. Este incremento se basa en una ampliación que apunta a cumplir las metas de biodiversidad del país. Luego de implementarse la metodología de VC se encontró que los turistas especializados tienen una disponibilidad a pagar de 25,626 pesos colombianos (US$14.4) adicionales por cada día de inmersión, por la ampliación y consolidación del sistema. Finalmente, este estudio busca hacer recomendaciones de política orientadas a la conservación de las Áreas Marinas Protegidas con base en los cálculos y resultados obtenidos.
