This is a shocking and horrifying discovery. Authorities in Ecuador detained a Chinese vessel near the Galapagos islands and discovered that it was packed with dead marine animals, many of them endangered species. There were many shark fins so we know there are sharks out there dead and dying. It is a terrible loss of marine life from an area that is ecologically significant and fragile.

They have detained the crew of the ship and perhaps there can be fines and charges against the ships owners.
Sadly that will do nothing to bring back the countless dead marine animals. They are gone forever and if such "harvesting" continues, whole species will be gone forever.
