PUERTO AYORA - Ecuador has created a massive new marine reserve north of its Galapagos islands, forming a Pacific corridor up to Costa Rica's Cocos Island National Park to preserve species of migratory fauna, such as sharks.
The new reserve is incorporated into the 138,000 square kilometers of reserve that have existed since March 1998. Authorities are planning for protected areas in adjacent Colombia and Panama to join later, creating an international marine biosphere reserve.Mr Lasso announced the expansion of the Galapagos marine reserve, which has unique flora and fauna and fragile ecosystems, in November in Glasgow, on the occasion of the COP 26 climate summit.
