Vaquita survey resumed today at 5:30. Because of the survey operations, we could not confirm the activity of the small boats at some point early in the morning, but later they were confirmed when we crossed paths. A group of divers was in the center area of the ZTA during the entire morning, and by 15:00 there was only one left.
Survey operations finished today in the morning.
