The ‘Cultivos Marinos Pacificos Austral’ company was founded in 2001 with the mission of developing new business within the national aquaculture area, giving the privilege to the South Zone of Chile due to the natural and sanitary conditions of its waters and coasts.
The company has a commitment to carry out the development of a sustainable activity with a minimum environmental impact. To accomplish this aim, we have developed a program along with the ‘Corporación Ambiental del Sur’ (Southern Environmental Corporation) and Corral’s town hall for training workshops for collectors and fishermen of the zone in order to train them on sustainable management techniques of seaweed resources.. The aim of this program is to generate a positive social impact in the area, in order to have a permanent seaweed supply through management plans that guarantee the prairie sustenance.
Additionally the company takes part in the ‘Asociación de Productores de Abalon’ (APROA) along with the sanitary certification programs which are being carry out by the same organization.
