Popis: Internationally nations are estimating the value of the sea and acknowledging its importance to the national Economy. Even though Brazil has one of the world's longest coastlines with hundreds of coastal cities, there are no specific statistical data on the contribution of the sea to the Brazilian Economy reinforcing the importance of this work. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the Brazilian Coastal and Marine Economies in the year of 2015 by estimating a National Input-Output Matrix which creates marine sectors. As far as we know it is the first time that Brazilian Coastal and Marine Economies have been presented using an Input-Output model. The results estimate that Brazilian Coastal and Marine Economies generated US$ 286 billion (19.0%) to the GDP in 2015, (16.4% for the coastal economy and 2.6% for the marine economy). It should be highlighted that Brazilian Coastal and Marine Economies are dominated by the service sector.
