Unfortunately, the ship in question was apparently shipping fuel oil to the
Galapagos to run the generators which power the facilities used by
bird-watchers and other visitors to the islands.

It is therefore difficult to see how any initiative to protect such sites
from similar tragedies can be prevented.
