📋 Tender Overview
The implementation of the effluent treatment system at the Corrales Aquaculture Production Center contributes to protecting water quality and the marine ecosystem after damage caused by intense rains in 2025
The Environmental Assessment and Supervision Body (OEFA), an entity attached to the Ministry of the Environment, verified compliance with the commitments assumed by the company Marinasol S.A. for the implementation and start-up of three ponds that are part of the effluent treatment system of its aquaculture center, located in the district of Corrales, province and department of Tumbes.
These structures were damaged due to the intense rains and floods that caused the river to rise and the sea to enter the area. In this context, the OEFA warned that the absence of these pools could generate impacts on water quality and marine hydrobiological communities, due to the discharge of aquaculture effluents without adequate treatment.
Faced with this situation, in October 2025 the OEFA signed a compliance agreement with Marinasol S.A., aimed at mitigating environmental impacts, which included the progressive implementation of the pools, as well as permanent technical support from the supervisory bodys specialists.
After continuous supervision, last February the OEFA confirmed 100% compliance with the commitments made, which guarantees the adequate treatment of effluents, the reinforcement of barriers against possible floods and the protection of the marine ecosystem.
With these actions, the OEFA reaffirms its work of supervision and technical support to promote compliance with environmental obligations, contributing to the conservation of water resources and the protection of the environment.
