Vaquita - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 06-18-2015, 07:37 PM

Source needed. 1 june while down at our place I saw for the second time in 2 years a Vaquita. Less than 100 are thought to still exist in the world, they only live in the upper sea of Cortez.

The help I need is to find out WHO to report these sightings to. I know someone is collecting this data but not who or where. The reason to report is that both sightings were in May or early June. There was a pup and mother the 1st time. This time only a sub adult maybe 40-45" long. I looked online but could not find where to report. Seeing the sightings were made outside the reported range thus out of the protected zone it might be important.

The San Felipe area was CLOSED to commercial net fishing earlier this spring all the way to Puertecitos, supposedly for 2 years. If anyone on BWE can point me to someone who can help, I thank you. Tight lines.

Call Scripps and see if they can lead you in the right direction.
