Argentinian NGOs ask the House of Representatives to address the law that bans microplastics in cosmetics

It is necessary to stop contaminating the oceans with plastic. In Argentina, twenty environmental organizations -including several members of the Forum for the Conservation of the Patagonian Sea- demanded a bill that bans cosmetic products containing microplastics used by the industry because they affect the sea, the species within it and even human health.

Forum Declaration: The Beagle Channel free from Salmon Farming

In the context of current plans to expand the salmon industry in the Beagle Channel -an area located at the southern end of the Patagonian Sea-, the Forum for the Conservation of the Patagonian Sea expressed its categorical rejection to the installation of salmon farms in these waters which are shared by Chile and Argentina. The main concern is related tothe catastrophic and irreversible damages that such an industry would cause in one of the most valuable areas of the Patagonian marine ecosystem. The Forum calls on both governments to provide all the necessary legal and administrative measures to avoid installing salmon farms in these marine waters and to act jointly for the conservation of this area.

"Somos un mar de fueguitos", escribió Eduardo Galeano. Y esta noche, cerca de 600 personas encendieron su voz por un #CanalBeagleSinSalmoneras. El estreno de #Yaganes, el documental de @natgeopristineseas, fue la excusa perfecta. Celebrar un ecosistema único con imágenes espectaculares, como preludio para su protección. Hoy, ambas márgenes del #CanalBeagle enfrentan la amenaza de la #salmonicultura. Pero recién se demostró que dicha industria deberá enfrentar un reto aún mayor: ➡️ una comunidad inspirada por la naturaleza que la rodea; movilizada antes los riesgos que conoce y entiende; y conectada por un propósito común. #AquíNoPasarán @natgeopristineseas @nosalmoneras @beaglesecretosdelmar @greenpeacearg @greenpeacecl @manekenk @a.pro.tur #ushuaiaxxi @fmarpatagonico
"#Yaganes", de @natgeopristineseas , muestra los resultados de una expedición inédita a la zona argentina de Tierra del Fuego, Isla de los Estados y la zona oceánica del paso Drake. El documental revela un área única de enorme valor ecológico que DEBE SER PROTEGIDA. A fines de 2018, el Congreso argentino creó por ley el Parque Nacional Marino "Yaganes". Hoy, el #CanalBeagle enfrenta la amenaza de la posible instalación de centros de cultivo de #salmones que afectarían este ecosistema en forma grave e irreversible. Si estás en Ushuaia, acercate este jueves 9 de mayo, a las 20 hs, al Hotel Las Hayas. La entrada es LIBRE y GRATUITA. 🌊🌊🌊 Descubrir el valor del mar, es defenderlo. @natgeopristineseas @nosalmoneras @greenpeacearg @greenpeacecl @a.pro.tur @manekenk @ushuaiaxxi@beaglesecretosdelmar #CanalBeagleSinSalmoneras
