Chile Approves Management Plan for Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park 

Chile approved a management plan for the Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park, one of the most pristine ecosystems on the planet. The new plan establishes rules to effectively protect the area, which will help important depleted fish populations recover. Oceana and our allies, including local artisanal fishers, were key to achieving this plan and the creation of the marine park in 2016 – the largest of its kind in the South Pacific. A previous expedition to the area by Oceana and National Geographic uncovered extraordinary levels of biodiversity and endemic species in the seas surrounding these islands.
