    Another batch of hammerhead, that's a larger male not fitting into the crate (can tell the sex by the two claspers).: by pmok, Views[1614]
         		 Vegetarian fried rice, Ecuadorian style (with some kind of green beans, eggs, carrots, and corn): by pmok, Views[656]
         		 Even with bad weather, this boat came back with almost equal catch of tuna and hammerhead sharks; the sharks are barely larger than the tunas!: by pmok, Views[302]
         		 This was a rarely seen ray in Puerto Lopez, don't even know the Spanish name for it.: by pmok, Views[280]
         		 A good catch of squids, plus a huge marlin cut into pieces, both actually look tasty. The sharks are on the ground, fins gone already.: by pmok, Views[600]
     
    The busiest street in Puerto Lopez on a rare sunny day (in the winter months it's usually cloudy), this is like a metropolis compared to Tofo!: by pmok, Views[338]
         		 Homemade corn tortillas (Ecuadorian style) and lentils with cheese, yum!: by pmok, Views[586]
         		 When the boats come in, a herd of buyers and carriers swarm the boats to make deals.: by pmok, Views[254]
         		 I felt like this arbon was looking at me and saying
         		 Fish market is a flurry of activities in the morning: fishermen, the butcher, the vendors, the trucks, the curious tourists, and then there's us!: by pmok, Views[270]
     
    These rays were so large, they needed three people to lift into the truck.: by pmok, Views[258]
         		 Where the rays should not be: the back of a truck.: by pmok, Views[252]
         		 Sometimes the fishermen hide the sharks and rays so we cannot count them. I found these two sharks hidden behind a crate, think they are Pacific Angelhead.: by pmok, Views[277]
         		 The type of catch I like to see more of at the fish market, the sustainable (and delicious) ones!: by pmok, Views[305]
         		 Indicative of which part of a shark is worth money or not. The bodies, though not wasted but sold as meat, are often left on the sand while the fins are cleaned and safe in a tub.: by pmok, Views[348]
     
    Sharks aren't the only victims, here are two tubs of rays, the head already cut and body hacked up. Notice the beautiful spotted one in the left tub.: by pmok, Views[320]

         		 My first time touching a shark, this was a beautiful black tip, a species I have dived with in Tofo. I wanted to see the teeth up close, though I much rather it was alive and me admiring it from afar.: by pmok, Views[277]
     
    There are all kinds of fish caught (mostly sustainable ones), not just sharks. Marlins are frequently caught and usually quite large like this.: by pmok, Views[2195]
         		 Shrimps are also popular, here fishermen and buyers make deals at the fish market. Buyers may be from a restaurant, a seafood purveyor, or just people looking for something to cook and eat.: by pmok, Views[359]
         		 What I learned: big fiesta in Quayaquil over the weekend!: by pmok, Views[280]
         		 A brutal day at the fish market, counted over 100 sharks caught, here was just a few of them, five alopias pelagicus and a carcharhinus limbatus (black tip), the latter one is the kind I swam with in Tofo.: by pmok, Views[527]
         		 Here is the prize of the catch: its fin.: by pmok, Views[321]
     
    My first turtle carcass on a beach patrol.: by pmok, Views[563]

         		 Poor thing had shells stuck on its carapace and even its head!: by pmok, Views[506]

    The end of a transect, a beautiful spot with bent bamboo trees hovering over like a canopy.: by pmok, Views[1667]
         		 Laura used a twig to lull this tarantula out of her hole. It was actually quite pretty up close but no less scary!: by pmok, Views[975]
         		 What I learned: Ecuadorian newspapers love to report on deaths and include photos of dead bodies, on the front page!: by pmok, Views[327]
         		 Inside a lava tube: by beckandphil, Views[500]
         		 Beckie takes her revenge: by beckandphil, Views[550]
