Galapagos Rezèv Marin (GMR) se katriyèm pi gwo rezèv maren nan mond lan nan apeprè 133,000 km2. GMR a te fòmèlman te kreye nan 1998 atravè lwa espesyal pou devlopman dirab ak konsèvasyon nan pwovens Galapagos (LOREG) ak pwolonje 40 kilomèt naval de baz li alantou zile yo. Zile yo gen karakteristik inik jewografik ak jewolojik epi yo sitiye nan entèseksyon kat kouran oseyanik yo. Sa a te ede pwodui divèsite biyolojik inik la ke yo jwenn jodi a, touche yo repitasyon nan yon 'laboratwa k ap viv nan evolisyon' nan mitan syantis yo ak chèchè yo. Jodi a, konbinezon kap grandi nan touris ak endistri lapèch, ki sipòte mwayen pou viv nan moun ki rete nan zile yo, tou menase izolasyon yo ak divèsite biyolojik.

The Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) is the fourth-largest marine reserve in the world at approximately 133,000 km2. The GMR was formally created in 1998 via the Special Law for the Sustainable Development and Conservation of the Province of Galapagos (LOREG) and extends 40 nautical miles from its baseline around the islands. The islands have unique geographic and geological characteristics and are situated at the intersection of four oceanic currents. This helped produce the unique biodiversity that is found there today, earning them the reputation of a ‘living laboratory of evolution’ among scientists and researchers. Today, the combination of growing tourism and fishing industries, which support the livelihoods of the islands’ inhabitants, also threatens their isolation and biodiversity.
