SEA SHEPERD : VASQUITA ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION : SEA OF CORTEZ : MEXICO : IT'S POSSIBLE ONLY TEN EXIST!

SEA SHEPHERD ORG : VAQUITA 



SEA SHEPHERD CREWS have spent over a decade in the upper Sea of Cortez defending the Vaquita Porpoise from the brink of extinction. Jacques Cousteau called the region, “the aquarium of the sea”. In spite of being endemic (non-migratory) to these nutrient-rich waters, scientists estimate only ten Vaquita remain today.

SEA SHEPHERD ORG : SHIPS CAPTAINS and CREWS GO AFTER THE WHALE KILLERS

SEA SHEPHERD ORG 

Excerpt: Sea Shepherd protects endangered marine wildlife by mobilizing ships, captains, and crews in their defense throughout the most fragile ecosystems on earth.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing worldwide is bigger than the illicit drug trade, and it is devastating the ocean. Our remedy is Direct Action; a collaborative model that partners with governments to push back on decades of exploitation and neglect using ships, technology, tenacity and a relentless commitment to hands-on, daily solutions. We fight the poachers, cartels, and industrial trawlers that break the law, that push species to the edge, and our crews and volunteers work to bring their days of devastating the ocean to an end.
