Chile's salmon industry strikes back against Greenpeace Magallanes documentary

 

Important figures in Chile’s Magallanes region are refuting the arguments set forth in the Greenpeace documentary “Por Aquí No” (“Not Here”) which was highly critical of the region's salmon industry. Greenpeace Chile launched the documentary on 28 September, 2022, in theaters, with a TV debut on 6 October on the History Channel. Calling for an end to salmon farming in the Kawésqar National Reserve, the film stars well-known local actors as they visit the reserve, located in the Magallanes Region in Chilean Patagonia. The NGO said the film is meant to raise awareness of the need to protect the area from industry, including salmon farming, which it blames for harming indigenous communities, artisanal fishing, tourism, and the environment.
