Ecologists seek to expand Galapagos Marine Reserve

Ecologists seek to expand Galapagos Marine Reserve The Ecuadoran president is to decide on a proposal to expand the islands’ marine reserve, seen as vital to protect the world heritage site from the fishing industry By Dan Collyns / The Guardian Strolling along a beach dotted with sea lion pups and their mothers barking at one another, utterly unconcerned by your presence, is a singularly magical experience. On the trail leading to the shore on tiny Seymour Island, noisily courting blue-footed boobies and frigate birds are equally unruffled by the presence of humans. Getting up close to the natural world without disturbing it seems as refreshingly easy on the Galapagos Islands today as when Charles Darwin visited on HMS Beagle in 1835. Isolated from the mainland, the archipelago’s unique endemic species from giant tortoises to finches helped Darwin set out his theory of evolution in On the Origin of Species.

Activists make the case that bigger is better to protect Galápagos reserve

Activists make the case that bigger is better to protect Galápagos reserve by Elizabeth Claire Alberts on 29 January 2021 A group of scientists, conservationists and NGOs are campaigning to expand the current Galápagos Marine Reserve to protect an additional 445,953 square kilometers (172,183 square miles) in the exclusive economic zone of the Galápagos Islands. According to a scientific proposal, the marine reserve expansion would help protect threatened migratory species, deter unsustainable and illegal fishing practices, and even bolster the legal Ecuadoran fishing industries. While the proposal has garnered both national and international support, Ecuador’s fishing sector is largely opposed to the expansion of the reserve.
