Dos Mares argues that most of Central American society does not assign value to protected areas since they fail to clearly perceive their services in the face of the rush to prosper in a degraded socioeconomic environment where too often the alternative is to fight to survive amid misery. , corruption and crime.

 Additionally, the authorities work with a very limited budget, generally subject to sporadic short and medium-term financing, and the private initiative has been mostly framed in concessions for tourist services outside the protected area. This situation has limited the development of the physical infrastructure of services and attention to the visitor within the protected areas, originating passive protected areas that offer little or no valuable attention to the senses of the visitors.

 The aforementioned circumstances favor the slowdown of financial income for protected areas and the stagnation of their management programs for public use, conservation, research, and surveillance / control, which weakens its borders in the face of the advance of social groups that, above all, struggle to survive. For these reasons, Dos Mares aspires to ensure that local communities and society in general perceive the value of marine protected areas, transforming them into protected areas that continuously and actively offer services that directly affect the social, cultural and economic well-being of society, attract the support of capital groups and provide job opportunities. To make its vision come true, Dos Mares has proposed to offer technical and financial support in three lines of work: Educational Recreation, Inclusive Conservation and Relevant Science.
