This study analyzes Blue Venezuela as a national strategic vision grounded in the concept of the Blue Economy. It proposes transcending the purely continental traditional view to recognize aquatic spaces as central axes of sovereignty, economic development, and comprehensive security. The study highlights that, although Venezuela is not a signatory to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), its domestic legislation regulates the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone, and the continental shelf under the criteria of sustainability and environmental ethics. Marine scientific research, in this context, is presented as an essential strategic asset for resource utilization, adaptation to climate change, and territorial defense. Its role in pending delimitations is emphasized, particularly in the Atlantic Coast and the Essequibo region, where physical changes such as erosion could affect international legal processes. Finally, the study raises the need to project Venezuela’s presence into the High Seas and Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctic) not only for oceanographic research but also to secure rights over mineral and genetic resources. The text concludes with an exhortation to strengthen “aquatic awareness” through investment in research vessels and the promotion of a holistic science that consolidates the country’s negotiating position and future well-being.
