Pesquisadores da Florida Atlantic University, em parceria com o San Diego Natural History Museum e a NOAA Fisheries, digitalizaram o esqueleto de uma vaquita, um dos mamíferos marinhos mais ameaçados. A ação busca preservar a anatomia desse porco-marinho em risco de extinção.

Tag 16, Operation Milagro, Sea of Cortez
Das Leben auf einem Schiff unterscheidet sich doch sehr von dem an Land. Abgesehen von der Tatsache, dass man sich mit sechs Personen ein Zimmer teilt und man auf engstem Raum lebt, ist es schwer ein ruhiges Plätzchen für sich allein zu finden. Am freien Sonntag gehen dann alle mit Kopfhörern in eine oder andere Ecke des Schiffs, um mit den Liebsten zu sprechen ❤️

"Mexico Proposes Rollback Of Vaquita Protections, Pushing The Species Closer To Extinction

The fate of the vaquita hangs in the balance as Mexico considers regulatory changes that could determine whether this critically endangered species survives. Conservationists around the world are sounding the alarm, warning that the decisions made now may mark a turning point in the fight to save the world’s rarest marine mammal.

According to the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), Mexico is on the brink of publishing new rules that will significantly weaken protections for the vaquita porpoise, the world’s most endangered cetacean, potentially leading to the extinction of the species. The Intergovernmental Group on Sustainability in the Upper Gulf of California, a multi-agency organization created to oversee implementation of measures to protect the vaquita, held a pivotal meeting recently, proposing new regulations that could eviscerate established protections.

During the meeting, the Mexican government announced new proposed regulatory measures on gillnets, the principal threat to the vaquita. According to a 2025 survey, only seven to ten vaquitas may remain in the wild. These porpoises are highly vulnerable and easily become entangled and drown in gillnets, which are used illegally to catch totoaba (a large fish), shrimp, and other marine species in the Upper Gulf of California."

Tag 9, Operation Milagro, Sea of Cortez.
Die Kampagne im Golf von Kalifornien hat sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre stark verändert:

Einst wurden stündlich Netze aus dem Wasser geholt, während teilweise dutzende Boote illegal gefischt haben, die wir direkt konfrontiert haben 🐬🔱

Mittlerweile patrouillieren wir die ZTA und melden verdächtige Aktivitäten der mexikanischen Navy, deren Marines auch dauerhaft an Board sind. Die fahren dann raus🇲🇽💪

The Vaquita: a porpoise on the brink. This porpoise needs your help. With only eight left in the wild, there may still be a chance for survival. It is not beyond saving! #scicomm #sciants #science #stem #conservation #vaquita

Liebe alle,
in Kürze werde ich im Golf von Kalifornien, vor der Küste Mexikos, für #seashepherd 🔱🐬 im Einsatz sein. Dort werden wir für Schutz des Kalifornischen Schweinswals, auch Vaquita genannt, kämpfen. Beim Vaquita handelt es sich vermutlich um das am gefährdetste Säugetier des Planeten, laut letzten Schätzungen existieren nur 10-20 (!) Exemplare dieser Art, alle im gleichen Gebiet 🌎

#Mexico expedition sights only 6 to 8 #vaquita #porpoises, the most endangered #marinemammal
Last year, experts on a sighting expedition estimated they saw from 10 to 13 of the tiny, shy, elusive porpoises during nearly two weeks of sailing in the #GulfOfCalifornia, also known as the #SeaOfCortez. More troubling, no baby vaquitas were seen this year by the conservation group #SeaShepherd https://phys.org/news/2024-06-mexico-sights-vaquita-porpoises-endangered.html

Thank you for allowing us to learn of the plight of the #vaquita .

The vaquita, the world’s smallest and rarest marine mammal, is on the brink of extinction. Only about 10 individuals remain in the Gulf of California, where they are threatened by illegal fishing nets. The IUCN has issued its first extinction alert in 70 years, urging immediate action to save this species. #Vaquita #ExtinctionAlert #SaveTheWhales https://www.iflscience.com/first-extinction-alert-issued-in-70-years-for-rarest-marine-mammal-on-earth-71025

Mexican Navy hopes to expand net-snagging hooks to protect endangered vaquita porpoises.

AP reports: "The vaquita lives only in the Gulf (of California) ... where as few as ten vaquitas remain. They cannot be held or bred in captivity."

Things haven’t looked good for the #vaquita for decades, but the last few years have brought the species to the #BrinkOfExtinction . #Endemic & #exclusive to the upper #GulfOfCalifornia - the pint-size #porpoise has become an unfortunate bycatch of fishing operations in the area, primarily the illegal catching of #totoaba . 
Listed as #Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature

Some of Mexico’s most notorious wildlife traffickers are now in jail. Members of the “Totoaba Cartel” targetted the swim bladders of totoaba which can sell for up to US $80,000/kg, earning them the nickname “the cocaine of the sea.”

Good story on efforts to save the #vaquita, the world’s smallest porpoise that is being driven to extinction in Mexico by illegal fishing practices linked to organized crime: “Illegal totoaba fishing practices have contributed to the drastic population decline of vaquita, a small porpoise on the brink of extinction.” @MaxRadwin @mongabay #environment #dolphins
