Vaquita survey resumed today at 5:00. The gaps on the hourly data are because on some occasions it was not possible to turn the radar back on. Several small boats were seen during the morning crossing from the northeast to San Felipe with nets on board; probably they spent the night fishing in the northeast area. Because of survey operations, we were slightly limited to confirming the activity of the small boats, but most of the ones that were in the center of the ZTA during the day were divers.
Around 12:00 the survey finished for the day.
