Anyone who claims to care about reducing pollution who is not focused like a laser on world champion polluter China is either ignorant or a liar.
Illegal Chinese fishing boats are responsible for the majority of man-made ocean waste found near or in the Galapagos Islands Marine Preserve, which is located off Ecuador’s Pacific coast, the Latin American news site InfobaeEcuador’s federal government released the results of a new study on July 25 that found the majority of garbage detected in or near the Galapagos Islands “comes from Asian vessels that fish in international waters,” Infobae reported.
Ecuador Environment Minister Gustavo Manrique said the study “provided enough evidence to suspect that this waste comes from Chinese boats that fish for giant squid every year in [waters near] Ecuador.” “This happens despite the fact that ships operating in international waters, in front of the Galapagos Exclusive Economic Zone, are prohibited from throwing any type of plastic into the sea,” Infobae relayed. “However, bottles, oil cans for boats and jute bags with Asian characters, mostly Chinese, have been found piling up on the shores of the Archipelago’s beaches, indicating that the waste from these boats is thrown into the sea.
Residents of the Galapagos Islands hold a demonstration outside the court where the crew of the Chinese-flagged ship confiscated by the Ecuadorean Navy is attending a hearing, on August 25, 2017.
