 Ocean current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However the importance of currents is also illustrated by the El Niño, in which a temporary reversal of an ocean current causes devastating climatic changes along the west coast of South America.
Surface ocean currents are generally wind driven and develop their typical clockwise spirals in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere due to the coriolis effect.
These currents that flow under the surface of the ocean, and are thus hidden from immediate detection, are called submarine rivers.

The Galapagos Islands are situated at a major intersection of several ocean currents, the cold Humboldt current (which predominantly influences the climate), the cold Cromwell current (also known as the Equatorial Countercurrent, which is responsible for much of the unique marine life around the Galapagos) and the warm Panama current.
The cold Cromwell current, also known as the subequatorial Countercurrent, is also a very important influence on the Galapagos islands.

The general pattern of these surface currents is a nearly closed system of currents, called gyres, which are approximately centered on the horse latitudes (about 30° latitude in both hemispheres).
Analysis of current records shows that a number of major currents, such as the Gulf Stream, have strong fast-moving currents beneath them trending in the opposite direction to the surface current.
In 1952 the Cromwell current was found flowing eastward beneath the south equatorial current of the Pacific.

 Galapagos Penguin
Because of the Galapagos Penguin's dependence on a sporadic food source produced by the Cromwell Current, it is estimated that there are as few as two or five thousand Galapagos Penguins left on the islands of Fernandina and Isabela Islands (Jackson, 2002).
Lying between the South Equatorial Current and the islands of Fernandina and Isabela, the Cromwell Current's waters are sometimes pushed up toward their shores (Peterson, 1979).
However, due to the unpredictability of ocean currents, which are even further complicated by temperature fluctuations caused by El Niño (Boersma 1998), the food supply varies tremendously, and the continued survival of the Galapagos Penguin is often threatened.

 Wing v
Plaintiffs claimed that keeping those animals on their property was lawful under the ordinance that preceded the current ordinance so under the law of nonconforming lawful use they should be entitled to continue in that use of their land.
The trial court and the Court of Appeals said that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that there was a previous lawful use of the land involving the three animals.
On September 9, 1997, Fred Curtin, the development compliance officer of the town of Cromwell, ordered the plaintiffs to remove all of the horses from their property, citing §§ III, paragraph 3.1.37, and XI, paragraph 11.10, of the Cromwell zoning regulations.
