Since its formation in 2015, ETC has aimed to ensure the conservation of the marine and coastal resources of Punta Descartes. In addition to collecting the scientific data necessary to convince management authorities to act in favor of the protection of this region, ETC also carries out concrete conservation actions. Our conservation efforts include: 

• Night patrols and protection of sea turtle nests from poachers and predators.
• Beach cleaning and waste sorting
• Underwater Cleanups
• Participation in the national program of Bandera Azul Ecologica, which depends on the National Institute of Tourism (ICT)
• Participation in pro-conservation and education events
• Implementation of a recycling campaign called “JE RECYCLE” in partnership with the town hall
• Outreach and education programs in local schools and colleges on themes and issues such as: Marine Ecology, Plastic Contamination, Consumer Society, Respect for All Living Beings, Conservation and Anti-Poaching, and many more!
