Resumo(s)
Em 2009, Portugal apresentou à Comissão de Limites da Plataforma Continental
nas Nações Unidas a sua proposta de extensão da Plataforma Continental, efetivando-se
uma extensão onde o espaço marítimo nacional será cerca de 40 vezes maior que a área
emersa de Portugal Continental. Esta Plataforma Continental e os restantes espaços
marítimos de soberania e ou jurisdição nacional possuem um relevante potencial
estratégico, derivado dos recursos minerais, energéticos e biogenéticos aí localizados, que
se convertem num atrativo no domínio das ciências marinhas. Esse interesse no “Mar
Português” reflete-se num considerável número de visitas de cruzeiros científicos
estrangeiros, cuja atividade é objeto de autorização e monitorização.
O presente trabalho inicia assim com uma aproximação ao potencial estratégico dos
espaços marítimos nacionais, o qual tem sido mote para a realização de atividade
científica por parte de entidades e organizações internacionais. Posteriormente é analisada
a expressão da atividade de investigação científica marítima estrangeira e o particular
interesse nos espaços marítimos nacionais. Para melhor compreender como é regulada
esta atividade, é feita uma abordagem ao quadro legal internacional e interno, onde são
reveladas certas lacunas ao nível legislativo, que limitam a ação de Portugal enquanto
Estado Costeiro. De seguida, é realizada uma análise às lacunas existentes, quer ao nível
legislativo quer ao nível do controlo e acompanhamento, e apresentadas algumas
propostas solucionadoras. Por fim, são estudas as alternativas tecnológicas que potenciam
uma solução a um leque de lacunas identificadas no controlo e acompanhamento destas
campanhas e desenvolvido um Sistema de Gestão e Acompanhamento de Cruzeiros
Científicos (SGACC), com o objetivo de monitorizar e controlar a atividade científica
nos espaços marítimos de interesse e responsabilidade nacional, bem como disponibilizar
à comunidade dados e informações relevantes destas.
In 2009, Portugal submitted to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf at the United Nations its proposal for the extension of the Continental Platform, effecting an extension where the national maritime space will be about 40 times larger than the emerged area of Portugal mainland. This Continental Platform and the remaining maritime spaces of sovereignty and/or national jurisdiction have a high strategic potential derived from the mineral, energetic and biogenetic resources there located, which become an attraction in the field of marine sciences. This interest in the “Portuguese Sea” is reflected in the high number of visits by foreign scientific cruises, whose activity is subject to authorization and monitoring. The present work begins with an approach to the strategic potential of national maritime spaces, which has been the motivation for carrying out scientific activity by international entities. Posteriorly, an expression of foreign maritime scientific research activity and particular interest in national maritime spaces is analyzed. In order to understand how this activity is regulated, an approach is made to the international and national legal framework, where certain gaps are revealed at the legislative level, which limit Portugal's action as Coastal State. Then, an analysis is made of the existing gaps, at the legislative level and at the level of control and monitoring, and some solution proposals are expressed. Finally, they are studied technological alternatives that enhance a solution to a range of gaps identified in the control and monitoring of these campaigns and developed a Management and Monitoring System of Scientific Cruises (SGACC), with the objective of monitoring and controlling the scientific activity in the maritime spaces of national interest and responsibility, as well making relevant data and information available to the community.
