This document contains the research plan proposed by the Chilean Delegation in the Subarea 48.2 including the observations suggested by the Working Group on Statistics, Assessments and Modelling (WG-SAM) during the meeting held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 26 to 30 June 2017. Among the  recommendations adopted, coordination was achieved with the Delegation of Ukraine to develop research in the Subarea in a collaborative way (WG-SAM-17, paragraph 4.110). In the context of the present proposal, operational agreements were reached.
