The chiloense marine ecoregion, at the Northern Chilean Patagonia, has been considered a hotspot of marine mammal diversity, yet little is known regarding specific sites used by these species for reproduction, nursing, refuge, and foraging. This information is critical for proper spatial ecosystem planning and conservation of marine resources. In the austral summers of 2004 through 2008, and from 2012 to 2017, the presence, distribution, and behavior of 13 species of marine mammals was recorded at Guafo Island, an oceanic island located in the center of the chiloense ecoregion. Guafo Island is an important reproductive and feeding site for South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis australis), South American sea lions (Otaria byronia) and marine otters (Lontra felina), and an important feeding, nursing, and transit location for humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangtiae), Orcas (Orcinus orca), and blue whales (Bataenoptera musculus). We also recorded occasional sightings of fin whales (B. physalus), southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) and Peale's dolphins (Lagenorhynchus australis). The island coastline also serves as refuge for molting Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) and vagrant Subantaretic fur seals (Arctocephalus tropicalis). The information presented here highlights Guafo Island as an important breeding, shelter, and feeding site for marine mammals in Chile. The growing anthropogenic pressure on this ecosystem emphasizes the importance of formal protection of this island as a priority site for marine conservation in the Northern Patagonia of Chile.

| We appreciate the logistical support of the Chilean Navy through the fifth naval zone Commander in chief and head of naval operations. We thank the support and friendship of the Chilean Navy administration on maritime traffic at Puerto Montt and the Chilean Navy Guafo Island lighthouse crews. We appreciate the significant contributions of artisanal fishermen of Quellon (Vessel crews: Fresia del Carmen, Marimar II, Marimar III, Matias Jesus, Mayra-Denisse and Nautylus V). We thank the abnegate field assistance of Diego Miranda, Pamela Nunez, Andrea Nadeau, Paula Antileo, Carola Valencia, Diego Perez-Venegas, Francisco Munoz, Eugene DeRango, Piero Becker and Josefina Gutierrez. We appreciate the comments, revision and language edition of Dr Nicole Gottdenker (The University of Georgia) on this manuscript, and the information discussed with Dr. Laela Sayigh (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). This work was supported by The Rufford Small Grant Foundation (Grant N 13225-1), Morris Animal Foundation (Grant N D16ZO-413) and the Society for Marine Mammalogy Small Grants in aid of research (SG-2005, SG-2011, SG-2015 and SG-2016). HJP was supported by Institute of Zoology-Universidad Austral de Chile (UACH), Direccion de Investigacion y Desarrollo of UACH (DID-D-2004-7/D- 2005-15/UACh S-2013-19), MECESUP Doctorate Program (AUS0111 y UCO0214), Vicerrectoria de Investigacion y Postgrado de la Universidad Santo Tomas (UST 2015-2016/23) and the Postdoctorate Program 2011 - FONDECYT No. 3120100. Work conducted under permits of the Undersecretariat for Fisheries and Aquaculture (SUBPESCA) (Res. Ex. N 976, 2016), and Institutional animal use and care committee of the University of Georgia (Project ID A2013 11-004-Y3-A0). This work is dedicated to the memory of our mentor, Dr. Roberto Schlatter (1944-2016), a scientist that contributed to the conservation of wildlife in Chile and Guafo Island. |
