To strengthen and consolidate our commitment to the inhabitants of the commune of La Higuera and the Coquimbo region, we present additional 56 innovative proposals that will allow us to develop a world-class project.

We have studied mining operations in developed countries, such as the United States, Australia and Canada, places where port mining activity coexists with the preservation and care of the environment, identifying those relevant aspects to replicate in our country and transform ourselves into an example of green mining, sustainable and compatible with the serious climate change crisis.

27. All human resources that will work at Dominga, both contracted and subcontracted, will be trained in environmental issues.
28. Permanent dissemination of illustrative material to contractors and contracted personnel on the care of the Humboldt Penguin and its nesting period and behavior.
29. Install a buoy with a hydrophone at the height of the Islotes Pajaros, to maximize precautions and travel with extreme care, in case of the presence of cetaceans.
30. The Center for Scientific Studies will develop a line of research exclusively focused on underwater noise.
31. Strengthen the monitoring plans linked to the AMERBs.
32. The Center for Scientific Studies will develop a line of research focused exclusively on plankton productivity and bio indicators.
33. Use the best technology, proven and promoted worldwide, in terms of desalination plants.

• AVIFAUNA:

35. Carry out an applied study to evaluate the effect of lighting on birds.
36. Integrate the Yunco duck and other species in the plans for the Recovery, Conservation and Management of Species in Punta de Choros (“COLLECTION plans”).
37. Address a line of research from the Center for Scientific Studies focused on population dynamics, habitat and distribution, feeding patterns, nesting, breeding and behavior, and the ecosystem services of the Yunco duck.
38. Develop additional scientific studies prior to the installation of the lighting in the storage fields.

• SUPPORT FOR PRODUCTIVE SECTORS:

39. Develop a Pilot Plan for the Enrichment of Areas for the Management and Exploitation of Benthic Resources (AMERBs) with native species from the coast of the commune of La Higuera.
40. Enrich the AMERBs of Caleta Totoralillo Norte, providing seeds with benthic resources.
41. Compulsory insurance against accidents caused by ships in the event of any contingency resulting from the operation of the project.
