NEW PATROL BOAT FOR GALAPAGOS

On 7 January 2005, the new Patrol Boat - Sierra Negra - arrived in Galapagos. This will patrol the Galapagos Marine Reserve.

The boat was constructed in Guayaquil and is totally equipped with the most modern navigation equipment. It is constructed in order to be able to make long trips, patrol the Marine Reserve, carry out oceanographic studies and act as a support boat for the other patrol boats owned by the Galapagos National Park.
