Bárbara Galletti and Vernazzani Muñoz: Project Update August 2007

I am just returning from Isla de Chiloe very happy with the positive results. We presented to regional and local authorities and tourist operators the results of the penguin carrying capacity study and the recomendations for whale watching guidelines in the blue whale area. The tourist operators agreed to implement a voluntary code of conduct while the national tourist service(SENATUR) committed to advance in the development of a certification system.
