Researcher Paulo Mora presented the talk called \u201cBenthic Resources and Fisheries in Los Lagos Region\u201d at El Pilar and Seminario Conciliar schools in Ancud city. Researchers Paulo Mora, Andr\u00e9s Olgu\u00edn and Sebasti\u00e1n Cook presented the talks \u201cBenthic resources and fisheries in Los Lagos Region\u201d, \u201cJellyfish: Myths and Realities\u201d and \u201cCultivation experiences inPudeto estuary and aquaculture sustainability perspectives “, respectively, the latter in the context of “Sea Day” organized by Quempill\u00e9n experimental farming center of Universidad Austral de Chile.<\/p>\n

During the day on Monday, May 13th, El Pilar School\u2019s teachers really appreciated the talk that their 60 studentsthat were present listened to very attentively. Lorena Mancilla, teacher at El Pilar school, expressed: \u201cThe approach to science and the work carried out by IFOP is positively valued. Since a high percentage of our students come from families that depend mainly on marine resources extraction activities linked to the sea.” On the other hand, Sandra Hern\u00e1ndez, also a teacher at El Pilar school, said: \u201cWe highlight the clear explanation of benthic resources, activities and products that are extracted in the area, and how human beings are part of these interactions. This helps to practically understand the role of human beings in ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, May 14th, it was the turn of the Conciliar Seminary School of Ancud, where 45 students were able to listen to the talk about benthic resources and their fisheries. Paula Soto, teacher of Aquaculture Technician specialty at the school, stated: It is very important that researchers from institutions as relevant as IFOP come to reaffirm what we teach here to our students, in this way they can concretely visualize what they have learned and how it is applied in the world of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At Quempill\u00e9n center, IFOP’s participation in Sea Day that took place on May 15th was also appreciated, in which students and teachers from different schools in Ancud attended the dissemination of various topics related to marine sciences. In this context, Juan Pablo Fuentes, UACH Quempill\u00e9n center administrator, expressed: \u201cThey were high-quality talks, easy to understand and for all audiences. For us, organizing this type of dissemination activities is of great relevance, since it allows us to spread scientific knowledge from researchers to the community in general.”<\/p>\n

Paulo Mora, IFOP researcher, added \u201cThis series of talks for schools and research centers is part of the commitment to disseminate IFOP\u2019s work and obtained results from different programs. As Benthic Fisheries Monitoring Program researcher, I consider it relevant that dissemination is mainly in the territory where fisheries are developed, in the context of ecosystemic and socio-ecological approach.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that the information that is generated from carried out research on different marine species or different specialized areas linked to marine environment be transferred to our future generations, and not remain stored in computers or files. Young people who have become scientists will be in charge of ensuring marine resources sustainability. In this aspect, IFOP researchers have given ourselves the task of disseminating our work in the student community and in the community in general,\u201d concluded Andr\u00e9s Olgu\u00edn.<\/p>\n
