We need your help to STOP long line fishing in the Galapagos
The Galapagos National Park is considered one of the most unique and protected places on Earth, but it´s a vast area and in reality, it is constantly under threat.
Even though longline fishing was prohibited in the archipelago in 2005, recently, a new study on a modified long line has begun in the Galapagos Islands. It has already proven to be deadly for many of our protected species, including sharks, rays, turtles, and sea lions and it has raised the percentage of incidental fishing over the legal limit.
