During the first hours of the day there were several small boats in the ZTA Extension; one of them was confirmed net fishing and the Navy was notified, but the fishermen left before a Navy vessel arrived.
Around 7:00 diver boats started to gather in the center of the ZTA, and the last one stayed until 15:00.
At night there was small boat activity towards the southwest outside of the ZTA in front of San Felipe. Around 20:00, small boats were detected net fishing both in the ZTA and the extension. Fishing activity was confirmed for both small boats through the drone. The Navy was contacted at 20:51. At 22:47, the small boat in the extension began retrieving their nets and headed back towards the direction of San Felipe. Half an hour later, the Navy arrived to the ZTA, and the small boat began retrieving their nets. The small boat left shortly after.
