Total number of different small fishing boats fishing today in the ZTA: 0.

Total number of different small fishing boats fishing today in the ZTA Buffer Zone: 5.

 

Vaquita survey resumed today at 5:00. Overall, there was almost no small boat activity during the day in the ZTA. We saw some small boats fishing in the area outside of the ZTA, both in the Buffer Zone and outside in the Vaquita Refuge. Because of the survey operations, we could not confirm the activity of the small boats unless we crossed paths.

Around 13:45 the survey finished for the day.
