As part of the Descarte project, researchers Luis Adasme, Marcelo San Martín and Victoria Escobar visited Pesquera Quintero. The reception and coordination was in charge of Mr. Andrés Quintanilla, production manager, along with personnel from the fleet. The visit aimed to find out the opinion of fishermen regarding the use of mitigation measures established to reduce the incidental capture of birds and marine mammals.
This was the first of a series of visits that will be carried out to companies dedicated to capturing shrimp and prawns, with the intention of raising opinions and observations that allow the evaluation of the measures implemented, with the intention of improving them to achieve an effective reduction of the impact of fishing on the environment.
