Summary
The Valdivia Commune filed precautionary measures claiming that the activities of the fishing company Marfragata SA affect the archaeological area and the marine reserve of their community. The plaintiffs—various representatives of the Valdivia Ancestral Community—claimed that the activities threaten the land, which is declared a natural and archaeological heritage, and threaten rights of nature. They requested that the company leave the ancestral territory of the commune and its activities be suspended. The precautionary measures were rejected because the court claimed that the activities had not damaged the environment according to an inspection report by the Forest Administration System.
