This article describes an experience of collaborative work between scientists and preschool teachers in the format of a scientific congress of preschoolers in Chile. The participating preschool teachers evaluated the initiative positively based on: (1) it stimulates the preschool teachers to develop science teaching projects, (2) it makes visible t...
Tourism focused on the “3Ss” (sun, sand and sea) has increased sharply in recent decades, which has subsequently led to the modification of natural areas of sandy beaches with the implementation of relevant infrastructure to meet the requirements and demands of beach users. Although the development of infrastructure and tourist services has increas...
The dissemination of science at primary levels of education is one of the main publicpolicies for the training of scientists and the sustainability of the planet in general. In thiscontext, the main goal of this study is to compare two dissemination strategies (audiovisualvs. written reports) in the understanding of a coastal ecological scenario in...
Sandy beaches are of interest to various sectors of society, so it is urgent to move to integrated and participatory models that facilitate the management of these socioecological systems. Currently, there is a growing appreciation of the perception of the social and natural environment as a valuable tool for the management of tourist beaches, as t...
El crecimiento en infraestructura y servicios en ciudades costeras cuya
economía se basa en el turismo de sol y playa se ha incrementado fuertemente
a nivel mundial. En la Región de Coquimbo, la falta de una estrategia
orientada al uso sostenible de playas, ha facilitado la construcción
sobre las dunas, observándose pérdida de arena y un recurrente...
Manual para comunicar resultados de investigación científica escolar, tanto en los formatos de la ciencia, como manuscritos, poster y presentaciones orales, como también en formatos de divulgación, como el caso de muestras públicas y videos. Se entregan orientaciones, consejos y "tips" basados en teorías de enseñanza y de comunicación. Así, hasta p...
En esta guía usted encontrará una ayuda. No es una norma, tampoco un dogma. Simplemente es un documento que, mediante la experiencia de los autores en sus respectivas áreas, podría entregarle beneficios a la hora de comunicar la ciencia. Desde que empieza a realizar el proyecto y lo escribe, la presentación de los resultados a la comunidad en una f...
In order to contribute to the dissemination of marine sciences, we have reedited the text "Un mar de cosas por explorar" published more than a decade ago by the same team of editors, under the name "Exploring the marine ecosystem of northern Chile: Marine ecology guide for the school world" is an update of the text. This new text is much more than...
Some of the many mining operations that exist in northern Chile dispose their mine tailings directly into the sea. Little is known about the effects of these tailings on shallow rocky subtidal communities. This study reports these effects for an iron ore pelletization plant that has discharged for ca. 23 years in the intertidal of a cove on the exp...
The manual for nursery school teachers is the result of a joint effort between marine science researchers and education specialists. For marine scientific education, the interaction between 1) content on biology, ecology and human intervention in marine ecosystems, 2) didactic approaches such as classroom workshops, recreational and artistic activi...
Landings of Concholepas concholepas, a carnivorous gastropod and valuable fishery resource, appear disproportionately high compared with herbivores or suspension feeding mussels. The species has been previously described as feeding on a great variety of prey, the most important being barnacles, mussels, and tunicates. To quantitatively evaluate pub...

More than two million scallops (Argopecten purpuratus Lamarck) were stranded on the beach at Tongoy Bay, northern Chile (30°20′S) in March 1999 during a period of unusually strong wave action. The scallops, which were stranded in living condition, had frondose algae attached, principally Ulva lactuca Linneaus, to the upper valve. Settlement and gro...
The Chilean scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) fishery has been closed for many years, but natural scallop beds are still in jeopardy because illegal harvesting continues. Overexploitation has resulted in decreased productivity, which in many areas of Chile has caused the decline or complete elimination of natural scallop populations. Moreover, illega...
Describes the density of juveniles of the keyhole limpet genus Fissurella on differents microhabitat on the rocky shores of the Palo Colorado coast. Six intertidal microhabitats were sampled: Perumytilus purpuratus bed, P. purpuratus bed covered by algae (Ceramiales), patches of Ceramiales, Corallina officinalis belt and patches of Gelidium chilens...
A new area populated by Heterozostera tasmanica (Martens ex Aschers.) den Hartog was discovered in Caleta Chascos, Salado Bay (27° 40′ SL), Chile. This discovery extends the present distribution of H. tasmanica from Puerto Aldea, Tongoy Bay (30° 16′ SL) to Caleta Chascos. H. tasmanica forms a 1–4-m-deep subtidal bed having a local, patchy distribut...
This work describes individuals of Achelia assimilis (Haswell) collected in a bed of Heterozostera tasmanica (Martens ex Aschers.) den Hartog from Puerto Aldea (Coquimbo, Chile), extending its geographical range from Chiloe north to Coquimbo. Latitudinal variations in size and A. assimilis body proportions are suggested. The distribution and disper...
