- Fishing
- The Galileo was cited for illegally fishing in a Marine Protected Area in January 2018. The final resolution of the Ministry of Production dated September 19, 2019 sanctioned the company with a fine and an order for confiscation of the illegal catch.
- Between 2019 and 2024, the Galileo likely bottom trawled for 6,983 hours (291 days). Bottom trawling is a fishing tactic in which a vessel tows a net, often hundreds of feet wide, along the ocean floor. Bottom trawling is a particularly destructive form of fishing because of its bluntness: anything in the net's path–including non-target species, coral reefs, and dolphins–is swept up, often fatally.
