ACOREMA is dedicated to the research and conservation of marine biodiversity, with an emphasis on the study of threatened species (cetaceans, sea turtles, Humboldt penguins, sea otters), and on environmental education, awareness, communication and interpretation initiatives to create awareness and to promote the participation of the population in actions in favor of marine and coastal resources, and a better quality of life. Since 1995, it has developed its activities mainly in the province of Pisco, on the southern coast of Peru, which is important because it includes the territory of two marine protected areas. ACOREMA also carries out actions of national, regional (in Latin America) and global scope, in alliance with other organizations.
