Ecuador detects Chinese fishing boat flotilla in seas near Galapagos Islands

Chinese fishing boats were detected near the Galapagos Islands, prompting Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno to highlight the area's rich marine biodiversity. The Ecuadorian Navy, led by Environment Minister Yolanda Kakabatsa, is monitoring the situation to prevent illegal fishing, similar to a 2017 incident where a Chinese vessel was caught with 300 tons of illegal catch. Ecuador is collaborating with Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia to close the corridor to illegal activities.
