The Regional Coastal Edge Use Commission (CRUBC) of the Aysén region also rejected the second request from the indigenous communitiesa, and that sought to deliver 393,945 hectares of coastal edge to a community.

In this case, it was a request from the Antunen Rain Community of the Huicha Islands of the Aysén commune, who requested 393,945 hectares.

Previously, the same commission had rejected the request of the Pu Wuapi community of the commune of Guaitecas, who had requested 227,272 hectares of maritime border.

This first rejection made the Antunen Rain Community foresee the possible rejection of their request, so they withdrew immediately following the second vote.

One of the votes of rejection was that of the regional presidential delegate of Aysén, Rodrigo Araya, who assured that “The ECMPO request overlaps by 46% with the maritime portion of the Guaitecas National Reserve, “There is no management plan to date.” Decision that preceded a string of votes once morest the request.

These requests were made under the auspices of the Lafkenche Law, a regulation that has been in force for more than 14 years and was created to recognize and protect the territorial rights of indigenous peoples on the coastline.
