Abstract: This research focuses on the analysis of the conception of the territory extended to the sea of an Afro-descendant community settled in a group of coastal islands, whose lifestyle is closely tied to the sea, which they depend on for their subsistence. This community is located in the central Pacific region of Colombia, specifically in La Plata- Bahía Málaga, and is part of the Community Council. It was once declared a Marine Protected Area (mpa) under the designation of a National Natural Park. In this context, maritimity encompasses the relationships between human beings and the sea, including forms of work, occupation, representations, sensitivities, and perceptions. It was evident that for this community, the sea acquires different meanings, such as a means of communication and connection (both physical and symbolic) and a source of resources; these meanings shape different practices of appropriation and use of the sea.
