Yaqu Pacha Chile is a Center for Studies on the Conservation of Coastal Ecosystems. Our mission is to promote the conservation of ecologically and economically important coastal ecosystems through scientific research, science outreach, and education. Our team is made up of professionals from the fields of ecology, animal health, and education. This allows us, through a multidisciplinary perspective, to focus on strengthening and developing local capacities, generating scientific information, and forming links with communities in order to value marine biodiversity and its habitat.
