History

Created in 1992, the University of the Sea is part of the Oaxaca State University System (SUNEO). SUNEO was created to serve as a cultural instrument for the transformation of the social environment.
The SUNEO Project started in 1988 and at the beginning of 1990, the activities began with the Technological University of the Mixteca (UTM). In 1992, the University of the Sea (UMAR) was created and the project was extended to a new socio- cultural and environmental reference point in Oaxaca: the Oaxacan coast, with the aim of promoting the culture of the sea. During the first decade of the 21st century, the project was extended throughout the state, expanding the educational offerings in the field of science and technology and developing scientific and technological research and creating many services for the people of Oaxaca.
