Navy mobilises as huge Chinese fishing fleet nears Galapagos Islands

[Vanguard One]

A huge fleet of Chinese fishing boats is approaching the Galapagos Islands, prompting a swift response from the Ecuadorian navy.

Officials said naval patrols had been stepped up as the fleet of about 260 ships neared the economic exclusion zone around the islands.

In 2017, a Chinese fishing vessel was caught with a cargo of 300 tons of marine life in the marine reserve Ecuador maintains around the Galapagos.

Defence Minister Oswaldo Jarrin said in a press conference this fishing fleet was currently still in the corridor of international waters.

Ecuador President Lenín Moreno tweeted in Spanish over the weekend to support the navy's troops.

"We will work in a regional position to defend and protect the Exclusive Economic Zone around the Galápagos Marine Reserve, one of the richest fishing areas and a hotbed of life for the entire planet," he said.


Chinese fishing fleets come to the region every year, but this one is larger than other recent flotillas and nearer to the exclusion zone.

The Galapagos Islands and the surrounding ocean are a UNESCO world heritage site and a global hub of biodiversity.

Charles Darwin famously formulated part of his Theory of Evolution on the islands, noting the differences between the sub-species on each isle.

Latina girls are known to be very attractive, at least here in the US. But seriously though, Chinese fishing boats have that far range? Pretty crazy to traverse the Pacific like that.

Haha I learned Spanish many years ago in high school ... I can tell you I forgot all of it except a couple common phrases like "como estas" or "buenos dias." Hope you have more success than me lol.

You mean fat a$$, big boobs and S shape?
Americans have a bold taste though.

Well Latina women are very attractive in general ... of course the attributes you described certainly do help . I welcome you to come down to Texas to see for yourself.

At first i was thinking i could communicate in English but later i realized that "las mujeres latinas no hablan Ingles"

Languages are like bitches, if you dont feed them enough they betray you. i was good at learning English at young ages but now the words i memorize slip away from my memory easily.

I ve met a Colombian lady, she is learning Turkish, Russian, Arabic and Chinese at the same time. She doesnt speak English though. Seems like she is not interested in North America That sounded weird to me. English could be more advantageous.

But i learnt a lot Spanish thanks to her

Are you in Texas? I was mostly in North West, not many Latina women, not many Blacks neither. Those attributes attract all straight of course.

Majority of us has same diet as others. Some fisherman fly other countries flag do fishing overseas, we can NOT 100% control
Oh, by the way, in past 100 years, only the west and developed countries have the capabilities to fish thousands miles away from their homeland. and in large scale.

For example, in South Pacific, especially close to Antarctica, those Japanese, Americans, Australians are fishing there.
China only start join this game since about 10 years ago.
