Workshop addresses strategies for the development of artisanal fishing and small-scale aquaculture in the Los Lagos Region
September 25th, 2024
In Puerto Montt, the workshop entitled “Strategies for the development and promotion of artisanal fishing and small-scale aquaculture in the Los Lagos Region” was held. The purpose of the workshop was to present a model for the collection and analysis of information that allows for the identification of development gaps and productive potential, as well as to gather experiences that support the governance required for the definition of development funds. Representatives from various institutions such as GORE, CORFO, SNPA, SERCOTEC, INDESPA, PER mitílidos, SSPA and IFOP participated in the event, who discussed proposals and strategies to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector.
During the workshop, an innovative model based on the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) and Site Assessment (SA) was presented. These tools allow for the evaluation of the living conditions of fishing communities, providing information that supports investment decision-making, which promotes more efficient management of resources. During the workshop, crucial issues related to local governance were also addressed, emphasizing the importance of the articulation between local agents and the development programs implemented in the area. The workshop generated an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and experiences, promoting a constructive dialogue between key actors in the sector. The conclusions and lessons learned from the event seek to promote greater integration between public and private institutions and fishing communities, in order to guarantee sustainable and equitable development of artisanal fishing and small-scale aquaculture in the region.
This activity was part of the development of the project “Design of instruments for the promotion and development of productive units associated with artisanal coves”, led by professionals from the fisheries development division of SSPA and executed by professionals from the management areas section of IFOP.
