I updated the summary to include better references.

I made a summary of most of my research so far concerning the management of Galapagos. It is based on what I wrote already two weeks ago, but I tried to correct some mistakes and added some new information. The diagram is pretty cool! Unfortunately I will have to finish the citations as well as tweak the language later. You need a program which can read .pdf files, so if you don't have one, just go here or if you don't have MIT Certificates, try this.

I have uploaded the bookmarks of the sites I have visited recently. I haven't read all of them yet, but they seem to give a pretty good picture of what kind of research I have been doing. Our regular Monday meeting meant also some significant upgrades to the structure of our team. Thus far we have been researching some specific topics of the Islands, but now we agreed upon starting to concentrate more on the specific goals. Responsible for the goals are: 1) Bin (international law), Juan (management), and Steven(geography) 2) Harrison (sensors), Noelle (oceanography), and Sean (contacting people) 3) Amanda (people), Jiho (tourism), and Jill (flora&fauna).

Today we had a productive, voluntarily meeting (regular Monday meeting was cancelled due to the Kolumbus day) in Hayden library. Inspired by that, I finally wrote some basic guidelines how the Galapagos is actually operated. I also finally found by accident a great report by students from the University of San Francisco, School of Law (USF), which compares facts from nine coastal and marine protected areas around the globe. That needs yet to be analyzed, but I believe that it will provide a lot of inportant information for our project. I am starting to have some raw ideas about what kind of things we might want to address in our agenda, and that feels good.

I have only some random material to put here at this point, mostly my thoughts, some plans what to do next , and extracts from other sources, which might be helpful in the future. To get a better idea what kind of research I am doing right now, I suggest to take a look at the Sources page.
