SeaWatch.org's Interests
|
| General |  OUR STAND
And The SolutionMexico is not the first country to face these challenges. Fortunately, there are proven and cost-effective solutions:
1) V.M.S.
Vessel Monitoring Systems allow authorities to know where all the large boats are at all times, which will help enforce established fishing laws. Already in use in Chile, Western Europe, Canada, and the U.S., vast areas of ocean can be monitored at a cost of only $1 a day per boat.
2) A Responsible Shark NORMA
Under the guise of shark permits, commercial fisherman are intruding on the 50 mile no commercial fishing zone from the coast to catch the few remaining dorado, marlin, and other sportsfish. The new Shark NORMA (regulation) must remove this loophole and enforce the 50 mile limit.
3) End ALL Use of Gillnets!
Gillnets inaugurated the start of the destruction of the Sea of Cortes in the 1970's and they are about to herald its demise. Cheap, indiscriminate, and extremely effective, a single gillnets can remove virtually all sea life from a stretch of reef in a few hours. There are thousands of gillnets currently in use. GILLNETS MUST BE REMOVED!

The Log from the Sea of Cortez
John SteinbeckSteinbeck accompanied marine biologist Ed Ricketts on a six-week collecting excursion to the Sea of Cortez in 1940. The scientific journey, however, provides merely the foundation upon which the author's wry observations of his companions, their endeavors, and the world are set.
