“The Galápagos Islands are home to the highest abundance of sharks known in the world!  In March, 2016 Ecuador’s president, Rafael Correa, announced creation of an enlarged marine sanctuary protecting over 18,000 square miles (47,000 square kilometers), or about one third of the water around the Galápagos Islands. The new sanctuary alone encompasses 15,000 square miles (40,000 square kilometers) and extends around the northern Galápagos islands of Darwin and Wolf.  Great news for sharks!”
