Estu­dios Marí­ti­mos y Sociales is a mag­a­zine pub­lished by Estu­dios Sociales Marítimos’s team, from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mar del Pla­ta (GES­Mar group). Its pages are open to cir­cu­la­tion for sci­en­tif­ic inves­ti­ga­tions on the social sci­ences field, with par­tic­u­lar inter­est in issues relat­ing the past, the present and the future of port and mar­itime com­mu­ni­ties.
