The Salmon Council has proposed a growth agenda to the Chamber of Deputies to restore efficiency following a Constitutional Court ruling on aquaculture concessions. This proposal aims to potentially increase annual exports by up to US$520 million and create significant new employment in southern regions. Parallel efforts are being made to support artisanal fishing through administrative and scientific initiatives. In the Chiloé archipelago, the ‘Caleta Más Cerca’ program has been implemented to provide on-site regulatory and technical assistance to fishers in isolated coves. Additionally, in the Ñuble Region, research proposals have been presented regarding marine repopulation and restorative aquaculture, focusing on species like sea urchins to diversify fishing activities and restore ecosystems. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Chilean fishing sector receives administrative and scientific support Chilean authorities and researchers are supporting artisanal fishers through mobile administrative services in Chiloé and restorative aquaculture proposals in the Ñuble Region. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chilean-fishing-sector-receives-administrative-and-scientific-support ### 2026-08-24: Salmon Council proposes growth agenda for Chilean aquaculture The Salmon Council proposed an agenda to the Chilean Chamber of Deputies to boost aquaculture efficiency, potentially adding US$520 million in annual exports and thousands of jobs. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/salmon-council-proposes-growth-agenda-for-chilean-aquaculture --- Cite as: Chilean aquaculture and fishing sector developments.
