OUR WORK

LINES OF ACTION
MPAs SCHOOL
We have been promoting the strengthening of the capacities of professionals in charge of managing marine protected areas in the Southern Cone and other countries, to improve the effective management of conservation units, in preparation for competence certification. We carry out this work through partnerships with universities and protected area systems in the region.
MPAS RESILIENCE: MaRes Project
We work to strengthen the resilience of protected coastal and marine areas by implementing solutions that contribute to the conservation and protection of marine life and help build the capacities of those working in the marine sector. An example of this work is MaRes, a project developed in Argentina with financial support from the European Union.
SALMON FARMING
We work on communication, citizen participation, and advocacy actions to raise awareness about the impacts of salmon farming activities in areas of high ecological value and great ecosystem fragility, such as marine protected areas. The actions we promote are inspired by lessons learned from the industry's expansion in Chile.
ENERGY
We analyze and disseminate high-quality information about the severe impacts caused by the expansion of offshore hydrocarbon activities on the biodiversity of the Patagonian Sea, other human activities, and the global climate.
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS
We facilitate cooperation among Southern Cone countries in international agreements for biodiversity management. We promote the participation of organizations and civil society in global discussions and support the implementation of treaties such as the BBNJ Agreement and the Global Plastics Treaty. Additionally, we organize training programs and exchanges to enhance understanding of biodiversity threats and the importance of ratifying these agreements.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
We promote environmental education to strengthen public knowledge about marine biodiversity and its threats. We foster environmental awareness and empower regional communities for the long-term conservation of the Patagonian Sea.
Plastic Pollution
We focus our efforts on generating a better understanding of the problem of marine plastic pollution from fishing operations and its impact on the biodiversity of the Patagonian Sea, as well as promoting comprehensive solutions to prevent it.
MARINE PROTECTED AREAS
We promote the creation and strengthening of marine and coastal protected areas as essential tools to address the biodiversity and climate crises. We work alongside governments, communities, and academics to develop assessments and provide recommendations based on the most rigorous and up-to-date knowledge available.
