We arrived to the ZTA around 18:00 in the evening of the 22nd of January, and we spotted pangas fishing outside of the ZTA in the north area. At 18:30 we started to see several pangas from that group crossing the ZTA heading towards San Felipe, and we saw one that was manipulating a net inside the panga while they were moving.
