A new breeding ground for endangered hammerhead sharks has been found in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador's government said. This natural refuge off the island of Santa Cruz is home to about 20 of the sharks, the environment ministry said. It is the second such refuge detected in the archipelago. The first, found in 2017, was shown to host around 30 hammerheads.
