PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
Castilla used his Pew award to foster sustainable use of benthic marine resources through community-based management approaches that give exclusive administration of coastal "preserves" to local small-scale fishery communities. Specific projects included: monitoring of shellfisheries and the expansion of co-management schemes; study of ecological resource enhancement and restocking processes; production of the Guidebook on the Chilean Rocky Intertidal Shores and expansion of the Las Cruces Coastal Preserve experience to northern Chile.
Castilla developed a public-private partnership at Antofagasta to involve local industry in marine conservation. With success in that experiment, he launched additional studies in central and northern Chile in connection with the establishment of a network of marine parks and preserves throughout Chile which involve private corporate support and active participation in the effort. |
