Platform for itinerant maritime diffusion

Abstract

The purpose of the project is to create a national maritime research network, whos main objective is the diffusion and education. Nowadays, Chile faces an enormous concentration of diffusion efforts in the central zone of the country, together with an inefficient distribution and scarce research programs for the existing marine protected areas. The proposal, then, rethinks the way in which a dissemination center is conceived, taking advantage of the need for displacement of marine research cruises. The need for such a project arises inherently when analyzing the national reality regarding the state of conservation of our sea, its level of study and the lack of social awareness, in regards to its care, considering that part of the country’s economy develops from its riches, such as fishing, navigation and tourism.
