#goodmorning Say ‘hi’ to the #beautiful #vaquitamarina. It’s a #Mexican #endangeredspecies. In #2018 there were several notes and #documentaries #following the case of the last 30 specimens on #Earth. So sad to see why an how these #animal were disappearing. Nowadays, nothing else has been said. Some scientists were trying to reproduce them, but no success. It’s just terrible.

To give you an idea of the tremendous negative impact that these nets have on the Ocean ecosystem, on Jan 6th, Sea Shepherd found 3 dead baby sharks trapped in one illegal net. Our mission is to pull the nets as fast as possible to save the wildlife trapped in these death traps.

On the 5th of January 2019 Sea Shepherd found 25 Dead Totoabas trapped in a Gillnet. Our crew worked intensively for hours to pull out the heavy net and saved different marine spieces found alive trapped with the totoabas. The totoaba bass is another endangered marine species native to the upper Gulf of California. The totoaba’s story, like that of the vaquita, is a sad one and is tightly intertwined with the story of San Felipe, the fishing town nearest to the vaquita’s territory. San Felipe was essentially founded because of the totoaba fishery. The totoaba were once an abundant and large fish, weighing up to 300 pounds and growing to more than six feet long. Now, with so few left, it is very rare to spot a totoaba that weighs even 70 pounds. They were hunted to near extinction in the 1960s. Even then, the fishermen were after the totoaba for their swim bladder. The swim bladder is exported from Mexico and sold on the black market in China where it is used for a soup believed to have medicinal properties. Since 1975, the totoaba has been protected in Mexico when it was listed as an endangered species due to the mad hunt for its swim bladder. In the past few years, the totoaba population made a small comeback; unfortunately, this recovery motivated illegal fisherman and the Mexican criminal cartels to target the endangered fish once more to export the fish’s swim bladder for sale on the black market in China. The resurgence of this market has been devastating not only for the totoaba, but for the dwindling vaquita population. The totoaba fishery resurgence has accelerated the decline of the vaquita from 7.5% annually to 18.5% annually. The gillnets set for totoabas are of a mesh greater than six inches, making their use illegal. The use of these gillnets also makes it more likely for the vaquita to become entangled and drown. You can do your part in keeping the vaquita alive, safe and free by donating to Operation Milagro V. Join the Fight!

Manta Rays, one of the animals we found entangled in the gillnets. Our mission is to pull the nets as fast as possible to save the wildlife trapped in these death traps. The Science team is having a race against time to free the animals as fast as possible and release them into their natural habitat. Did you know that Manta rays have the largest brain to body weight ratio of any living fish? . . .
