Personal Project

   Within the Project Financed by the National Fund for Cultural Development and the Arts, Call 2023, I am creating an Illustrated Plankton Identification Guide of the Continental Coast of Chile.

   In the guide you will find illustrated plankton, along with the people who collaborated, among other updates.
