During the night there was some small boat activity in the Vaquita Refuge mostly to the southwest from the ZTA, and the only panga seen in the area was transiting just before 1:00.
The day was quiet; no small boats were seen. The Navy warship patrolled the ZTA from 11:00 to 17:00, and the navy speedboat was seen at 16:00.
