Hello,
I've just read the post on the main page about the on-going shark-finning in the Galapagos islands.
Can someone who's been there let us know what the extent of the damage is? From the article, it looks like the problem is rather big, and that shark populations have declined precipitously in recent years.
Any comments from return visitors to the islands? And is this going on at Darwin and Wolf as well, or is it limited to islands near Baltra??
Any local dive ops trying to do anything about this?
Thanks,
J.
