Total number of different pangas fishing today in the ZTA: 0.
The day started with a lot of movement in the ZTA. Between 6:00 and 7:00 around 10 pangas crossed the ZTA towards the northwest, and at that time there was 14 diving pangas mostly in the center of the ZTA. By 9:00 that number had increased to 29 pangas clam fishing. At the same time, the number of pangas outside of the ZTA, to the north and south areas also increased; we spotted a couple of pangas crossing to the northwest with fishing gear on board. The majority of the dive pangas stayed in that area for six hours, leaving mostly between 14:00 and 16:00.
During the morning a Navy vessel Defender was spotted around the ZTA patrolling.
