Ma muli o kahi kuhi hewa i hana ʻia e kahi hoʻolaha paʻi i hoʻopuka ʻia ma ka lā 11 Nowemapa ("Ecuador to Limit the Number of Visitors to the Galapagos"), makemake ʻo ʻEkuador e wehewehe i nā lula a me nā lula hou e pili ana i nā ala holo moana a me nā alapine a puni nā Galapagos. Mokupuni. Hoʻomaka kēia mau lula i ka lā 1 Pepeluali 2012.

ʻO ka mea mua, ʻaʻole pili nā hoʻoponopono hou i ka poʻe malihini kipa i nā mokupuni ʻo Galapagos, akā ua kuhikuhi ʻia i nā mea nona ka moku a me nā mea hana. Pono ka poʻe kipa i nā mokupuni e noho no ka liʻiliʻi o ʻekolu lā / ʻehā pō, akā hiki ke noho i ka lōʻihi o ko lākou makemake ma nā mokupuni, a i ʻole ka lōʻihi e like me ka ʻae ʻana o kā lākou visa mākaʻikaʻi.

Pono nā loina hou mai ka lā 1 o Pepeluali 2012 e hoʻokō nā hui huakaʻi a pau e holo ana i nā moku holo moku ma Galápagos i nā huakaʻi no ko lākou mau waʻa e holo ana no 15 lā/14 pō. I loko o ia manawa ʻaʻole hiki i ka waʻa ke kipa i kahi kahua hoʻokahi ma ka pae ʻāina ʻelua, koe wale nō ʻo Charles Darwin Research Station ma Santa Cruz Island.

Hiki i nā mea hana ke hoʻokaʻawale i kā lākou mau waʻa '14-pō itineraries i ʻehā mau ʻāpana. No laila, ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia ka lōʻihi o nā huakaʻi huakaʻi no ka poʻe malihini kipa i nā lā ʻehā, e like me ka manaʻo o ka hoʻokuʻu mua ʻana, a hiki i nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi ke hoʻomau i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi malihini i ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻehā lā. Manaʻo ʻia e ʻoki nā mea hoʻohana i nā papa hana 14-pō i ʻelua mau huakaʻi 7-pō a i ʻole ʻelua 6-lā/5 pō a me hoʻokahi 5-lā/4-pō itineraries.

Pono nā lula hou i nā mea holo moku e hoʻokomo i ke kahua mokulele ma ka mokupuni ʻo San Cristóbal i loko o nā papa holo moku 14-pō. ʻO ka manaʻo e lawe i ke kaomi mai ke kahua mokulele ma Baltra Island a e puʻunaue like i ka nui o ka poʻe malihini kipa a puni ka pae ʻāina.

ʻO ke kumu o nā hoʻoponopono hou, ʻo ia ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka heluna malihini ma ka 15 o nā wahi i kipa nui ʻia i kēia manawa, hāʻawi i ke komo like ʻana i nā waʻa a pau ma nā kahua, hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā wahi i hoʻohana ʻole ʻia, a hoʻemi i ka nui o nā malihini ma ke ʻoki ʻana i nā huakaʻi pōkole. Manaʻo ʻia hoʻi e loaʻa i nā lula hou kahi ʻike pili a leʻaleʻa no nā malihini a pau i nā mokupuni ʻo Galapagos.

ʻO ka manaʻo o nā lula hou e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā hana ma kekahi o nā mokupuni; a me ka loiloi hou ʻana i ka nui o nā waʻa e hiki ke kipa i kekahi mau wahi; ʻoiai e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i nā alahele ma kekahi mau wahi.

Ma o nā huakaʻi hoʻolālā ʻoi aku ka naʻauao, pono e hoʻemi nā lula hou i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie o nā moku holo moana, a e hopena i ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka wāwae kalapona i hana ʻia e ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ka pae ʻāina.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Due to a misunderstanding created by a press release issued on 11 November (“Ecuador to Limit the Number of Visitors to the Galapagos”), Ecuador would like to clarify the new rules and regulations in regard to cruise routes and frequencies to and around the Galapagos Islands.
The purpose of the new regulations is to reduce visitor numbers at 15 of the current most visited sites, give equal access to all boats at sites, increase the use of underused sites, and reduce the total number of visitors by cutting out shorter itineraries.
Visitors to the islands, however, must stay for a minimum of three days / four nights, but can stay as long as they like on the islands, or at least as long as their tourist visa permits.
