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: 1.
During the first hours of the night the same small boats from yesterday were in the southwest and west area.
Some divers started grouping in the center of the ZTA around 5:00, and they stayed there until early afternoon. Shortly before 11:00, a small boat was seen attached to the outside of one of the ZTA buoys on the southwest side. We checked with the drone and there were three people line fishing, and they also had a long line onboard; they left about one hour later.
During the night some small fishing boats were seen in the southwest and northwest area outside the ZTA. Around 21:30 we launched the drone and confirmed 1 small boat was net fishing. At the same time, one small boat entered the buffer zone, but when we sent the drone to check they were already outside the zone, also net fishing.
