Shark Norma 029 Continues To Kill Protected Species
There are two major factors killing the Sea of Cortes. The first concerns PELAGIC FISH and the indiscriminate use of longlines and drift gill nets. By law, sports fish, such as billfish and dorado are protected within 50 miles of the coastline, yet a new regulation Shark Norma 029 has allowed these two destructive and indiscriminate fishing methods to move into the Sea of Cortes and to within 15 miles of the coastline. Longlines and drift gillnets now actually target these protected sports fish. See Articles below.
