Monitoring beach plastic contamination across space and time is necessary for understanding its sources and ecological effects.
Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have mostly focused on horizontal movements.

The World Summit on Island Sustainability was held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Galapagos Science Center (GSC).
The Galapagos Islands are unique beyond their natural components. Human populations on the islands are the most important authority in the conservation and management of this fragile place. Only 3% of the entire archipelago has been designated for settlements and agriculture.
The Galapagos Science Center and the Galapagos National Park will be collaborating to create an operative and sustainable program of wildlife veterinary and management. The GSC and the TUERI Veterinary Hospital of Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) recently collaborated on a workshop.
