TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM

INCAR has included within its social outreach program, the development of education modules to disseminate knowledge and promote sustainable aquaculture in technical high schools, which includes workshops and talks for students, as well as workshops for teachers according to the specific needs of each teaching center.

Currently, INCAR is carrying out a series of workshops and talks at the Filidor Gaete in LLico High School, and the Pencopolitan High School in Penco, both belonging to the Bio Region. Both high school students and teachers participate in this activity. During 2014, the Insular High School of Achao and the Capitan Williams Institute of the Sea in Chonchi, on the Island of Chiloé, and the Arturo Prat Chacon Professional High School in Puerto Cisnes in the Aysén Region will also take part in this program.

AQUAPONICS

Aquaponics is a system of sustainable aquaculture that mixes fish culture with hydroponic plants. This system has been used to address topics such as the nitrogen cycle, photosynthesis, recycling, depuration and sustainable production of foods in different aquaculture high schools of the country and in scientific fairs open to the community.

DEVELOPING SMALL SCALE AQUACULTURE

INCAR is intended to contribute to the development of small-scale aquaculture in Management and Exploitation Areas for Benthic Resources administered by artisan fishing organizations. This program is based on capacity-building in artisan fishing coves, and modules are dictated in greater depth based on the local issues of interest determined by each organization.
