A 2018 interview indicated that the illegal fishermen may be waiting for the species to go extinct in order to fish with fewer restrictions.
On 1 February 2019, Sea Shepherd reported that one of its boats patrolling the area to remove and deter the setting of illegal nets had been attacked by fishing boats for the second time in a month. It has also been reported that the efforts of the Mexican navy to deter illegal fishing have not been successful; the fishermen intimidate the navy by ramming their boats and while the navy has given chase they have not responded with force. Some fishermen are apparently becoming desperate because they have found it necessary to borrow money from trafficking cartels to replace their illegal nets. On 13 March 2019 it was announced that around 10 vaquitas were left, after Sea Shepherd found one of the porpoises had drowned in a gillnet, which was likely set out for totoaba fish. A possible recovery was not ruled out, as calves are still seen.


Although officials have done some dumb stuff like not compensating the right people too.

Is there any crime the Mexican armed forces won't roll over to violent criminals for?

As a result of not shooting at the "bad" brown people, an entire species will go extinct.

Lovely.

Holy shit, theyve actually grown a bit since then? Itd be amazing if they can keep it up but the experts are saying its not looking too good.

Wait, are they trying to catch fish in the area and the porpoise are dying in the process or are they trying to kill the porpoise?
