Regeneration and enhancement of coastal resources with marine ranching in Chile Masatoshi FUTAGAWA / CORDUNAP June 19, 2012 Marine coastal resource is reducing since last few decades due to over fishing of high value shellfish and finfish. Exhaust of those resources broke ecosystem of coastal organisms like un-useful species take over the place of exhausted species and irregular ecosystem reduces productivity and biodiversity then costal resources are shrinking rapidly.

Marine ranching program is ideal to regenerate ecosystem and maintain it sustainably which consist seed releasing, artificial reef installation and area management. The program applying in Japan almost half century and some resources were regenerated and enhancing with useful information. I recommend applying the program in Chile which domesticate to local condition. The program is operated by fishe
