This initiative was organized by the Fisheries Development Institute (IFOP), the Ays\u00e9n Regional Fisheries Directorate, and a broad network of public institutions, social organizations, educational establishments, companies linked to the regional maritime sector, and local artists Pablo Lema and Romanet Seguel-Rojas (painting and dance).<\/p>\n

The main objective of the event was to bring the community closer to the invaluable maritime heritage of Ays\u00e9n, promoting knowledge, appreciation, and reflection on the strategic, cultural, economic, and environmental importance of the sea for the present and future development of the region. The event also provided an opportunity to showcase the work carried out by various public and private institutions related to the Ays\u00e9n coastline, scientific research and monitoring programs, sustainability, and the protection of marine resources.<\/p>\n

Ays\u00e9n, a region of fjords, channels, archipelagos, and an extensive inland coastline, finds in the sea not only a source of productive development but also an essential part of its identity and collective memory. Precisely for this reason, the “Ays\u00e9n Submerged” fair has become a space for community gathering that seeks to reconnect people with the ocean, its ecosystems, and the many human stories that are born and develop along the coast. This year, 23 organizations, 19 educational institutions, and a renowned local painter participated, sharing knowledge, experiences, learning, artistic expressions, and interactive activities with the community, fostering a close and educational connection with the hundreds of people who came to the Puerto Ays\u00e9n Cultural Center to be part of this true celebration of the sea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Regional Secretary of Economy, Development, and Tourism for the Ays\u00e9n Region, Rodrigo Aguilera Silva, highlighted the importance of this initiative for the region and especially for younger generations: \u201cThis fair is tremendously important because it allows us to showcase all the stakeholders involved in and working with our sea, contributing to its sustainable development. Something very significant we’ve observed this year is the strong participation from schools. It is essential that our children and young people learn about, understand, and appreciate the enormous importance of the Ays\u00e9n sea for the future development of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, Alejandra Lafon Vilugr\u00f3n, head of IFOP Ays\u00e9n, praised the high turnout and the collaborative work behind this third edition: \u201cWe\u2019ve had a spectacular turnout. This year we had 12 stands from educational establishments, ranging from preschool to technical high schools, and 24 stands run by public institutions, research institutions, NGOs, the painter Pablo Lema, and three important regional companies: Mowi, Friosur, and AquaChile. Ays\u00e9n Sumergido is an initiative built on a deep affection for the community, thanks to a large collaborative network that highlights the value of our region\u2019s sea and allows us to showcase what we are doing today in our inland sea, in science, development, and conservation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Regional Director of Fisheries for the Ays\u00e9n Region; Luis Campos Joost emphasized the importance of these spaces, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the institutions involved in the maritime territory: \u201cIt is important for the community to understand the functions and actions carried out daily by public institutions regarding the sustainable use and harmony of both the coastline and the maritime territory. Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize the importance of the private sector in terms of productivity, ensuring the sustainability of resources, and, of course, with a special focus on protecting the maritime territory. Finally, I want to emphasize the participation of the local educational communities, who will be the inheritors of the actions taken related to our sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consolidating its position year after year, \u201cAys\u00e9n Sumergido\u201d reaffirms its role in 2026 as a key platform for bringing science, art, environmental education, and maritime culture closer to the public. It also strengthens the collaboration between the public, private, and community sectors to learn about the work being done in our inland sea and to project a sustainable and conscious development of the Ays\u00e9n coastline.<\/p>\n
