📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Production Management of the Regional Government of Arequipa is developing the breeding and reproduction process of the sea urchin in a specialized laboratory to guarantee the recovery of this hydrobiological resource in the depredated areas of the district of Lomas, province of Caraveli.
The Production Manager, David Vela Quico, said that the action is part of a broader effort to preserve marine biodiversity and support local fishing communities. It is expected that, in the first campaign, which will be carried out at the end of November 2024, the release of approximately 500 thousand sea urchins will be achieved, which will be released into their natural environment with a size suitable for their growth and development.
The reintroduction of sea urchins, in the areas that suffered the depredation of the species, will not only help to restore the balance of marine ecosystems, but will also strengthen fishing activity in the region, providing a more stable and sustainable source of livelihood for fishermen in the area.
The Regional Government of Arequipa, in collaboration with local authorities and specialized professionals, will continue monitoring the progress of this process and working on new initiatives that contribute to the sustainable management of marine resources in the region.
