Today Easter Island has an Integrated Management Plan that protects its marine resources, strengthens local governance and deeply respects the worldview of the Rapa Nui people.
The Undersecretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Julio Salas, commented that "what we value most at Subpesca is the respect and perseverance with which this process has been developed. Respect, because it has been given in two dimensions. First, respect for the culture, traditions, and rights that they have as a Rapa Nui community. And, by the way, also the respect to the norms, to the public institutionality, that has been able to converse through this process, which is difficult".
In addition, the Ministry of the Environment, the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service and the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture have a Memorandum of Understanding with the Blue Nature Alliance (BNA), an organization that collaborates with governments, NGOs, indigenous peoples and the scientific community to promote effective large-scale ocean conservation.
