    Pathway

    Maritorio

    A new concept of territory: the maritory — where land, sea, communities, ecosystems, and industrial pressure converge.

    Through Maritorio, IWF begins where most policy processes do not: with the futures communities can imagine for themselves.

    It asks coastal communities in Patagonia what the future looks like from where they stand — not as a symbolic exercise, but as a starting point for knowledge creation, institutional learning, and policy action.

    From there, IWF helps turn situated futures into research questions, public resources, decision tools, and institutional pathways.

    What Maritorio does

    • maps territorial knowledge, actors, and decisions across land and sea;
    • translates scientific and local knowledge into shared, usable material;
    • runs community futures work with coastal communities in Patagonia;
    • develops decision tools and governance pathways with public institutions;
    • returns results publicly, in open and accessible formats.

    Status

    Maritorio is in development. We are building the partnerships, funding, and institutional collaborations that will carry the first pilot.

    Maritorio is the first place where IWF's method lands.
