This is despite the establishment of a marine reserve on April 10, 2015 by President Enrique Peña Nieto to protect the species, while securing the future of local fishermen in San Felipe and Santa Clara. The activists are working with local authorities to locate and decommission the illegal fishing nets. The clip includes footage of San Felipe locals joining the efforts to protect the vaquita using a hydrophone to monitor the endangered animal's activities.Locations:Baja California-Mexico-North America-San FelipeDate:25 Jul, 2015Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:3m9sAudio format:NaturalProduction Type :B-ROLLKeywords:Actions and protests-Coast guards-Day-Fisheries-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Gill net fishing-Greenpeace activists-Illegal-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-MY Esperanza-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-PeopleShoot:Vaquita Habitat Investigation MY Esperanza Tour in MexicoThe Greenpeace ship Esperanza is in Mexican waters to investigate illegal fishing in the Gulf of California to ensure the marine reserve is sufficiently enforced. Greenpeace Mexico recently revealed new evidence from an investigation showing the continued illegal presence of gillnets in the area, which are contributing to the rapidly declining numbers of vaquita. This is despite the establishment of a marine reserve on April 10, 2015 by President Enrique Peña Nieto to protect the species, while securing the future of local fishermen in San Felipe and Santa Clara.The vaquita, a rare porpoise endemic to the northern part of the Gulf of California, are being caught up in nets that are used to capture another endangered species called the totoaba. The totoaba’s swim bladders are dried and prized as a delicacy in China, fetching prices as high as HKD 5 million (USD 645,000) according to a source in a Greenpeace East Asia investigation in May 2015.Related Collections:MY Esperanza through the Years (Photos & Videos)Vaquita Habitat Investigation MY Esperanza Tour in Mexico (Photo & Videos)
