More than 600 people said #NoToSalmonFarming in the Beagle Channel

Nearly 600 people lit their voices for a #BeagleChannelFreeFromSalmonFarming. The premiere in Ushuaia of the documentary “Yaganes”, produced by National Geographic through its marine conservation initiative Pristine Seas, was the perfect excuse to remind the value of a unique ecosystem through spectacular images, as a prelude to its protection against the threat of salmon farming on both banks of the Beagle Channel.

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

¡Histórico! 👏👏👏 Un paso más hacia un #CanalBeagleSinSalmoneras Se frena temporalmente la instalación de #salmoneras en el #CanalBeagle x orden del tribunal de la Corte de Apelaciones de Punta Arenas. Fue gracias al recurso presentado por vecinos de Puerto Williams, el Pueblo Yagán y @greenpeacecl, y la movilización regional, que cuestiona la legalidad de los permisos y reclama el derecho a vivir en un medio ambiente libre de #contaminación. ¡Vamos por más! Mirá la tapa de los diarios 👉🏼 @beaglesinsalmoneras @nosalmoneras
¿Qué te representa el mar? . . . #ClaudioCampagna @wcsargentina @fmarpatagonico
#CanalBeagleSinSalmoneras, ni en Argentina ni en Chile, Emplazar centros de cultivo de salmónidos en el #CanalBeagle afectará irreversiblemente los valores únicos de un sistema integrado naturalmente más allá de las fronteras políticas. Basta con que dichos centros se instalen en un país para que se afecte el ecosistema compartido. Solicitamos a ambos gobiernos disponer todas las medidas legales y administrativas necesarias para evitar su emplazamiento en estas aguas marinas y a actuar conjuntamente para su conservación.
