Abstract

Abstract: The present work analyzes the restoration of the ocean's centrality for the Brazilian State, driven by global environmental imperatives and the Decade of Ocean Science. Structuring initiatives such as the Brazilian Continental Shelf Survey Plan (LEPLAC) are examined; this plan aims to extend jurisdictional limits beyond 200 nautical miles, grounded in technical-scientific data and strategic interest in energy resources, such as the Pre-Salt layer. The study discusses the formulation of the "Blue Amazon" (Amazônia Azul) concept as a vector for social and political mobilization, establishing a parallel with terrestrial biodiversity to legitimize sovereignty over maritime space. It concludes that the development of a solid "maritime mentality" is a prerequisite for national progress, positioning Law—and specifically Marine Spatial Planning—as an essential governance tool to organize economic activities, prevent conflicts of use, and ensure environmental sustainability.

Keywords: Maritime Mentality, Marine Spatial Planning, Blue Amazon.
