FILE - In this July 8, 2017 file photo, a young woman with the World Wildlife Fund carries a papier mache replica of the critically endangered porpoise known as the vaquita marina, during an event in front of the National Palace in Mexico City. The Mexican government announced Wednesday, July 14, 2021, that it is officially abandoned the policy of maintaining a fishing-free zone around the last 10 or so remaining vaquita marina.
The measure announced Wednesday replaces the fishing-free “zero tolerance” zone in the upper Gulf of California with a sliding scale of punishments if more than 60 boats are seen in the area on multiple occasions. Alex Olivera, the Mexico representative for the Center for Biological Diversity, said the rules establish a sliding scale of responses to a situation that shouldn’t be allowed to occur in the first place. For example, the Agriculture and Fisheries Department says it will use 60% of its enforcement personnel if 20 fishing boats or less are seen in the restricted area.“This is stupid.
In January, two fishermen rammed their small boat into a larger vessel used by Sea Shepherd to haul out nets. Sea Shepherd said its vessel, the Farley Mowat, was pulling illegal gill nets out of the waters of the gulf, also known as the Sea of Cortez, when people on a group of about a half dozen small, open fishing boats began tossing gasoline bombs at the vessel, setting the bow and another part of the ship afire.

Savage pricks
Protest for a new government , they're making way too many stupid decisions
It is that the adversaries are corrupt.
For example, the Agriculture and Fisheries Department says it will use 60% of its enforcement personnel if 20 fishing boats or less are seen in the restricted area. En donde dicen que el gobierno lo abandono... Es solo la opinion de AP...
Socialist corrupt Mexico doesn't care about children dying without medicines or proper care.
Mexico's president does not give a damn about people, animals or nature, he is only interested in giving money away to those he thinks will help him stay in power...oh and to build baseball stadiums

We could have saved the vaquita 10 years ago had Chinese consumers stopped buying totoaba bladders and all you fish eaters stopped eating fish (govegan) and put the fishermen out of business for good.

lopezobrador_ has abandoned the country, he is just taking all the money he can, he has given full control to narco; so do not expect anything from him. Mexican kids sick with cáncer are diying, and he doesn't care at all.

I'm not opposed to minors having access to vaccines, however I do believe their parents should be involved in the decision process so they can be involved in their understanding of the potential ramifications. This is literally an atrempt to mass murder Americans. Damn, so Tennessee just doesn't give a fuck about the people at the lowest risk of COVID and injecting them with a vaccine that we are still discovering the side effects. I just can't believe it.
