It seems the Mexican government could approach the Chinese to lay off the Totaba, and also enforce a moratorium on fishing for them in the marine protected area. Good on Sea Shepard, but more monitoring is needed by Mexico.
Ok, looks like it worked. I wanted to say (and I actually wrote two comments which disappeared) that the Vaquita is a bycatch of another fish which is highly prized in Asia for its bladder, poor thing. It’s shameful that America cannot protect the right whale. If an advanced country that goes around lecturing other countries can’t protect such a highly intelligent and iconic species, how the hell can it lecture other countries? It can’t.
About the ship strikes, ships need to have radar so they can detect whales and not hit them. Wind turbines and the noise associated with their establishment is obviously disrupting the lifecycle of marine mammals.
Whales and marine mammals just need to lobby Congress I guess.

Very hard to leave a comment.
