Total number of different pangas fishing today in the ZTA: 0.
We started the day with dense fog around the ship at 6:00. After an hour, we saw some targets in the radar to which we approached, but seemed to be interferences due to the fog. At 8:00 when the fog had cleared, we discovered they were pangas. We first counted around 20 pangas in the center of the ZTA, and when we launched the drone we saw that they were all divers. The majority of them stayed in that area for six hours, leaving little by little.
