Kawésqar Community Accuses Salmon Farming Industry of Exploiting Protected Areas in Magallanes as "Productive Refuge"

The Kawésqar Community of Nomadic Sea Families denounces disinformation from the salmon farming industry in Magallanes. They reject claims that their protected area serves as an "obstacle," highlighting that 60 concessions operate within the Reserve. Production there is growing at an annual rate of 30%, using the area as a refuge, leading to documented eutrophication and contamination. They demand the removal of these concessions.
