Dear Mike Molina, Kelly King and all council members of the committee,
I am writing to you to lend my support to the resolution to make Galapagos a sister-city to Maui.
During 2017, I traveled to the Galapagos Islands and stayed in the main city of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. The similarities between this island of the Galapagos and Maui are striking.
Like Maui, the Galapagos Islands are located a far distance from the mainland and are involved in juggling tourism with protection of the native plants and animals. Both are trying to find a balance between sustainable and imported agriculture.
In my opinion, there would be many reasons to recognize the Galapagos Islands as our "sister-city," mainly that we could communicate and learn from each other about creative solutions to the common problems we face. The collaboration and connections that we could develop can only help all of us.
Thank you for allowing me to lend my support for the Resolution to make the Galapagos our sister-city.
