Off Ecuador's Galapagos, a former #shark-#poaching ship's new mission https://phys.org/news/2024-07-ecuador-galapagos-shark-poaching-ship.html
When #Ecuador's navy seized a Chinese-flagged ship off the #Galapagos in 2017, its hold brimmed with tons and tons of poached #fish including hammerhead and thresher #sharks. Today, the vessel has been repurposed for environmental patrols of those same waters, helping to hunt down predatory vessels of the kind it once was. It has also been renamed #Hualcopo for an Indigenous leader of centuries ago.
