We are going to Colombia, we are going to continue part of this work of documenting these seamounts. Our scientific arm in Colombia is the Malpelo Foundation. They have a very broad conservation program and have been working for a long time trying to improve the management plans of Colombian protected areas. And we are particularly interested in a seamount called Navegador, which is right on the border with the Panamanian exclusive economic zone and is a site that, being so far away from the eyes of the authorities of both countries, is very frequented by international fishing fleets and illegal fishing events occur very often.
