    Nova Hedwigia, Beiheft 138,215-229 Article Stuttgart, November 2010 Preliminary key to tlie mosses of Isia Navarino, Chile (Prov. Antartica Chilena) William R. Buck^ and Bernard Goffinet^ ' Institute ofSystematic Botany, The New Yorl< Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY10458-5126, U.S.A. ^ Department ofEcology and Evolutionary Biology, 75North Eagleville Road, Universityof Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269-3043, U.S.A. With 6 figures Abstract: Isla Navarino is the southernmost permanently inhabited island in the world. The forests are dominated by Nothofagus spp. and the bedrock isacidic. To date 157 taxa of mosses have been collected from the island. The taxa are keyed and achecklist provides the voucher specimen information upon which the key was based. Key words:Chile, IslaNavarino, Provincia Antartica Chilena, subantarctic bryoflora. Introduction Isla Navarino is the largest of the Chilean Antarctic Islands, lying directly south of the Beagle Channel, opposite Argentinean Tierra del Fuego (Fig. 1). It is ca. 4000 km^ The island is the southernmost permanently inhabited island inthe world, but it is not heavily populated. The pro vincial capital, Puerto Williams, hosts most ofthe population and has only about 1100 people, mostly connected with the military base there. The entire Cape Horn Archipelago (including I. Navarino) has been declared a Biosphere and World Heritage Site by UNESCO (Rozzi et al. 2004). Although lying between 54°52'S and55°18'S latitude (and between 67° 03' W and 68° 22' W longitude), the temperature is reasonably mild because of the oceanic conditions. At lower el evations, the forests are dominated by three species of Nothofagus. Many of the forests are es sentially undisturbed.

(Martin Gusinde, last row, fourth position from left to right). Anthropos Institut. Sankt Augustin, Germany - Authorized Digital Copying Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum Introduction INTROUDUCTION The creation of a museum on Navarino Island was an ambitious project that grew out of a deep interest in and concern for the island’s natural and cultural heritage. The initiative was originally proposed by the Chilean Navy, the same institution that built the Martín Gusinde Anthropological Museum (MAMG), which opened its doors in Puerto Williams in 1975. In the 1960s, before the museum was founded, a collection was begun of archeological material from the island’s coastal areas, along with some objects of historical interest from the first occupation by pioneers. This collection was exhibited in the now defunct Mixed School Nº in Puerto Williams. The collection was moved when the Martin Gusinde Museum was established, becoming part of that institution permanent collection. The Museum was named after the Austrian anthropologist and priest Martin Gusinde S.V.D. (1886-1969), who worked among the Yaghan and Selk’nam people from 1918 to 1924. His body of work offers the greatest collection of ethnographic studies about a world that was already on the verge of disappearing. His seminal work “The Indians of Tierra del Fuego” was published between 190 and 1974, and will forever remain the principal source of information we possess about the native people of Tierra del Fuego.

    The Effects of Globalization on Artisanal Fisheries in the Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region María Fernanda Morales Camacho University of Amsterdam MSc International Development Studies (Research) The Netherlands, 2018 Images: Personal archive. University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences MSc International Development Studies (Research) Title: The Effects of Globalization on Artisanal Fisheries in the Magellan and Chilean Antarctic Region Student: María Fernanda Morales Camacho Email: [email protected] Date: June 23rd, 2018 UvA ID: 11254750 Word Count: 31 385 words Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Maarten Bavinck Department of Geography, Planning International Development Studies, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Second reader: Prof. Dr. Jahn Petter Johnsen The Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø, Norway 2 Abstract Globalization and changes in international markets have effected the local level by defining and redefining the local production schemes, excluding or including actors, transforming local cultures, and influencing the ecosystems’ sustainability. While there is vast literature about local and global economic interactions and value chains of various fisheries, there are no studies on the value chain and socioeconomic issues of the southern king crab. Therefore, this research aims to understand the consequences of global fishing markets on the Magellan and Chilean Antarctic regions by studying the history and value chain of this fishery and the effects of global value chains (GVC) on the social well-being of those artisanal fishers involved in this activity. A mixed-methods approach was applied, employing observations, semi-structured and unstructured in-depth interviews, and a survey with the fishers and key informants. This study finds a simplification in the production requirements due to the new markets’ preferences oriented in less processed seafood.
