Coastal zones are potentially within the most vulnerable areas of the country, because of the erosion. This situation may be even worse in some coastal areas of the Province of Buenos Aires, due to the urbanization process along the coast, which increases the risk of flooding and loosing higher extensions of the beach. This is clearly the case of the coastal zone of the Bahía Blanca Estuary.This work has been done in the frame of an international co-financed project titled COMET-LA (COmmunity Management of EnvironmentTAl Challenges- Latin America) which main objective is identifying sustainable community-based governance models for the management of natural resources in different socio-ecological systems, in a frame of Climate Change and increasing competition for the use of natural resources.
