The Galapagos National Park did not authorize fishing tournament in Galapagos The GNP is studying a proposal for Experiential Artisanal Fishing, an activity permitted within the GMR and regulated by the Park.  . A major international fishing magazine recently promoted a sport fishing tournament in the Galapagos, and falsely claimed that the event was endorsed by the Galapagos National Park. This situation has generated understandable concern among different sectors in Galapagos. The Galapagos National Park has not authorized permission to any person or group to organize a fishing tournament in the archipelago. Sport fishing is not permitted within the Galapagos Marine Reserve. The promotion and execution of an event of this type will result in legal action of the GNP against event organizers. The GNP is currently reviewing a request from the San Cristobal Chamber of Tourism (CAPTURCRIS) for an Experiential Artisanal Fishing tournament, but it has not authorized the event. GNP Technicians have attended meetings with officials from CAPTURCRIS and artisanal fishermen, to learn more about the request and to discuss the parameters of the proposed tournament. Experiential Artisanal Fishing is allowed within the Galapagos Marine Reserve, under certain regulations.
