Sea Shepherd will ensure this new network stays functional in the coming years. Where needed we will conduct maintenance and replace parts.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the help of:

- ECWF (www.ECWF.org) from the Netherlands, who generously donated the equipment

- Marcel Wensveen the radio technician from the Netherlands who donated much of his time and a lot of his personal funds installing and preparing the equipment

- LUSH (www.lush.com) who sponsored the project

- Malena Garcia, our Galapagos Coordinator, who got the donation through Ecuadorian customs in record time and whose patience is exemplary dealing with bureaucracy
