Abstract
The Blanca Bay area concentrates important urban centers with a population exceeding 300.000 inhabitants and industrial plants as well as harbour facilities. Industrial activities include oil, chemical and thermoelectric plants and agro-industries. Three harbours function as principal channels for export of agricultural products, oil and oil derivates.
