Parque interjurisdiccional marino costero Patagonia Austral

The park extends over 103,574 hectares along the northern coast of San Jorge Gulf, featuring bays, coves, beaches, sandbars, and coral rock islands.

Established in 2009 through National Law 26.446, this park represents Argentina's first implementation of shared management between provincial and national authorities.

The coastal waters support traditional fishing communities in nearby towns of Bahía Bustamante and Camarones, where residents maintain maritime activities.

Visitors can access the park from Camarones via Urquiza Street intersection with Costanera, with administration offices providing information during business hours.

The protected area contains underwater forests of cayiyuyo algae that form essential habitats for 98 different species, including 30 threatened ones.
