The State was established on the basis of a continental posture that marginalised maritime territories and prevented them from taking into account the economic issues arising from their hybrid nature. The so-called “maritime” space is therefore confined to the coasts, to include only tourism and yachting, to which fishing and now the environment are necessarily added. The authors examine the multiple potentialities of the resources of these hybrid territories from two points of view: the first, continental, through their fluvio-maritime opening on Europe and the world; the second, maritime, through the analysis of the wind capacities of their coasts; these are two hybrid resources until now totally neglected by the central power.
