No Sea Cucumber fishing in some Galapagos Islands (April 4th, 2002)
Dried Galapagos sea cucumbers There will not be sea cucumber fishery in Santa Cruz and San Cristobal Islands this year. April, 4th, 2002

The Participatory Management Board decided that there will be no fishery of sea cucumber this year on the sea surrounding Santa Cruz and San Cristobal Islands.

Fisheries will be allowed on Fernandina and Isabela Islands, last year 94% of sea cucumbers were extracted from the areas surrounding these last two islands.

On the surroundings of Española and Floreana fisheries will be banned because there is a very low density of this creature.

This proposal has to be approved by the Interinstitutional Management Authority to be legal.
