This book is adorable. My 4 year old loves it Definitely recommend for the kid's library. We have a ton of books but many of them are exhausting to read over and over. It's dangerous to the totoaba, but it's also the main killer of the vaquita. A totoaba that died caught in a smuggler's net.

The vaquita is another, more critically endangered marine animal. It looks like a small dolphin, its mouth curling up in a semi-permanent smile. Like for the totoaba, the Gulf of California is its breeding ground and nursery. And like the totoaba, this gulf is the only place in the world where it exists. It also has the extreme misfortune of being the same size as the totoaba: Its head fits perfectly in the illegal nets. The vaquita has no financial value to the poachers, but as by-catch, it is now on the verge of extinction.

The Fish Smuggler

On April 13, NOAA Fisheries, along with an international group of scientists, released a report to Mexico's minister of the environment and natural resources saying that only 60 vaquitas remain in the Gulf of California. At this pace, the report says, the vaquita species will be extinct in five years. The scientists urged Mexico's government to continue with direct action against the poachers so both the totoaba and vaquita survive. It is a call, for now, that the government is hearing. In the air, the navy has one airplane and one helicopter launching twice a day.

On the ground, six drug-sniffing dogs, once trained to locate cocaine, now sit at three checkpoints leading out of the protected area, inspecting cars and people a day.

On the water, six boats and a larger naval vessel patrol the protected area of the Gulf of California, both at day and at night, when poachers are most active. All this is part of a national effort costing the government millions of dollars. The effort may seem massive, but the lure of the black market carries a financial potency that's proving difficult to stop. Jorge Garcia sat on the back of his truck, selling fish filets and shrimp to tourists wandering the boardwalk in San Felipe.

He looked out at the water, disgusted that his two boats are not doing what Garcia was raised to do: Garcia, his skin tanned, thickened and coarsely lined from decades on fishing boats, motioned to himself sitting on the truck. Garica said he's participating in a government program that is paying him to not fish in the protected vaquita and totoaba sanctuary.

One totoaba bladder, Garcia reminded us, would be double the government's monthly incentive to not fish. The illegal fishing happens at night. There's too much money involved. The fish bladders are thought to promote health and beauty when eaten. Garcia was baffled when he learned the swim bladders were being used as an anti-aging product in Hong Kong, eaten as a soup.

Fish smuggler's fails to skirt customs

Garcia, who grew up eating totoaba, said, "If it really worked for beauty, I should be beautiful by now. Instead, look at me. The Mexican government knows it has an uphill climb stopping the illegal fishing. PROFEPA's Garcia Pereda, having been a part of numerous totoaba busts, watched as the sailors pulled up an illegal net in the vaquita and totoaba sanctuary. The naval officer told Garcia Pereda they're still pulling up nine nets a day.

Trapped in this net was a totoaba, probably 20 years old. It had not been dead long; its swim bladder was still intact.

Details null

The fishermen pull the bladders, roll them into small packages and move them north. They're put on commercial flights and commercial shipping companies where they make their way into Shanghai, Hong Kong, often through the United States or Japan. But he wouldn't detail whether the transnational crime originates with the Mexican cartels. We just can't say if it's specifically organized crime. Garcia Pereda knows from his experience in the Mexican government that there's one rule in dealing with illegal contraband: The most trafficked mammal you've never heard of.

The Sea Shepherd is an environmental group's ship fighting fish bladder smuggling. Sea Shepherd is best known globally for its direct action against Japan's whaling in the Antarctic, engaging the whaling fleet boldly at sea. It's a level of direct confrontation rarely seen on the environmental activist stage, but just one of the group's many campaigns around the world. In the Gulf of California, Sea Shepherd is working in conjunction with the Mexican government to halt the poaching, often calling the navy for help in arresting poachers or pulling up giant nets.

Dan Villa aboard the Sea Shepherd. We motor towards them, and since they're doing illegal activities, they always flee. Sasano, a former member of the Canadian navy, slowed the drone. Get too close, and the fishermen bolt before the drone's camera can capture and record what they're doing. The fishermen spot the drone, appear to drop something over the side of the boat and speed off. The crew marked the location and continued the dark hunt. The team spotted six more illegal fishing boats, all which zoomed away. It's just one of those lies that people consume.
