| Popis: | The objective of this study was to quantify the economic benefits provided by the cluster of activities developed thanks to the existence of the Cocos Island National Park (CINP) and the ecosystem services it offers. The methodology consisted of employing cluster analysis complemented by a value chain approach identifying productive and non-productive activities related to the CINP and their interrelationships at the local, regional, national and international levels. The results determined that in 2019 the CINP allowed the generation of an income of US$14,522,596 of which the most significant contribution was made atthe national level (88% of the total). The findings indicatethe importance of protecting natural resources and marine species such as sharks (especially the hammerhead shark - Sphyrna lewini) from two potential threats, fishing and the effects of climate change, since the disappearance or decrease of such species could affect economic benefits. Keywords: marine ecosystem, clusters, natural resources, ecosystem services RESUMEN El objetivo de la investigacion era cuantificar los beneficios economicos que proveen el conglomerado de actividades que se desarrollan gracias a la existencia del Parque Nacional Isla del Coco (PNIC) y los servicios ecosistemicos que este ofrece. La metodologia consistio en el enfoque de conglomerados complementado con la de cadenas de valor que permiten identificar las actividades productivas y no productivas relacionadas con el PNIC y sus interrelaciones a nivel local, regional, nacional e internacional. Los resultados determinaron que el PNIC, permitio generar en el 2019, un ingreso de $14,522,596, donde el aporte realizado a nivel nacional resulto el mas relevante (88% del total). Las conclusiones senalan la importancia de proteger los recursos naturales y especies marinas como el tiburon (especialmente el tiburon martillo - Sphyrna lewini), esto visto desde dos perspectivas, la pesca y el efecto del cambio climatico, ya que, ante su desaparicion o disminucion se podrian afectar los beneficios economicos.
