We embark on our expedition…
The Galapagos Marine Reserve (Fig. 1) is one of the largest marine protected areas in the world. With a dynamic mix of tropical and Antarctic currents, it constitutes important habitat for a wide variety of marine organisms, such as corals, penguins, seals, tunas and many different species of sharks. Additionally, the marine reserve appears to play an important role for migratory species like marine turtles, whales, and the whale sharks. The northern islands of the archipelago, Darwin and Wolf, are known to have a regular presence of whale sharks from July to November and so we embarked on our expedition there.
