Today, one of the most beautiful places in Argentina is at risk of being lost.

The San Matías Gulf and Península Valdés, located on Argentina’s Atlantic coast, make up one of Patagonia’s most biodiverse ecoregions.

Let’s protect our Blue Gulf forever.

What is Golfo Azul Para Siempre?

We are a coalition of organizations dedicated to protecting the life of the Golfo San Matías, a unique ecosystem in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We have come together to raise our voices against the advance of oil and gas projects that threaten to turn this natural treasure into a sacrifice zone.

Our efforts focus on showing financial institutions that supporting oil infrastructure in the Gulf contradicts the public commitments they themselves have made regarding sustainability, climate change, and biodiversity. We communicate openly and transparently, and this website serves as a repository for our communications, so that you also have access to the information and understand which environmental commitments are at stake.

Your signature is part of the strength behind this demand: every time someone adds their voice and calls for a Golfo Azul Para Siempre, we make it more visible that behind this campaign there is a society unwilling to let Golfo San Matías become a sacrifice zone. Signing is joining a growing social, scientific, and citizen support network, demonstrating to banks, insurers, and investment funds that many of us demand consistency between their words and their actions. We want these institutions to know that we are watching and attentive to every step they take. Your signature is the most powerful tool to demand coherence between what they declare and what they do.

Who is behind Golfo Azul Para Siempre?

We are a collective made up of civil society organizations and citizens, bringing together NGOs from across the country and around the world, especially residents of the Atlantic Coast in the provinces of Río Negro and Chubut. We are also joined by local business owners and entrepreneurs from the tourism and fishing sectors, scientific and academic organizations connected to biodiversity, and Indigenous communities. Together, we form a strategic alliance that seeks to preserve the blue sea forever.

Our mission is to mobilize efforts to protect the coasts of Golfo San Matías, Península Valdés, and their communities from the damage and impacts caused by hydrocarbon activity. We believe a sustainable future is possible through a development model that prioritizes local communities and ecosystems. From Patagonia to the world, we say: Golfo Azul Para Siempre!
