To protect the endangered vaquita porpoises, the Mexican Navy is planning to expand a region in the Gulf of California where the country sets up traps to ruin illegal fishing gear.
said Wednesday it is planning to expand the area where it sinks concrete blocks topped with metal hooks to snag gill nets that are killing vaquita marina porpoises.last year, in hopes it may help save the world’s most endangered marine mammal.
That should supposedly discourage illicit fishermen from risking their expensive gear in the"zero tolerance area," a rough quadrangle considered the last holdout for the vaquitas. It’s called that because that’s where the blocks are sunk, and where patrols are heaviest, and there is supposed to be no fishing at all, though it still sometimes occurs.
But a strange thing happened when scientists and researchers set out on the most recent sighting expedition to look for vaquitas in May. "Once a consensus with the https://www.foxnews.com/category/science/wild-nature/fishmex has been reached, 152 more blocks will be placed in the freezone alongside the zero tolerance area, where there have been visual or echolocation sightings" of vaquitas, said Real Admiral Marco Peyrot Solís, the Navy commander of the region.The fishermen of San Felipe say the government has not lived up to previous promises of compensatory payments for lost income due to net bans in the area.
