China has said the fleet is not doing anything illegal, though Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Aug. 6 that the Chinese fisheries authority would implement a ban on fishing near the Galapagos from September to November to “contribute to the protection of fishery resources in the region.”

I heard about the Chinese fleet off the coast of Ecuador back in August but didn't know they were still in the area. It is disappointing to see that the Chinese are claiming that none of the fishing vessels' tracking systems have been turned off and then the Defense Minister of Ecuador reported that almost half of the fleet has. I hope that eventually, the world will come to a consensus that the natural environment is something worth protecting and fighting for instead of exploiting and degrading it.
