3/3 Still most of #Vaquita Refuge unmonitored, too many gillnetters in parts that are, & too many days of skiffs where vaquita porpoises were recently detected outside ZTA area. It's urgent to eliminate gillnetting to prevent extinction & enable recovery.

2/3 Two different consecutive fishing seasons were compared & overall fishing activity declined annually in both seasons (-37% in shrimp & -19% in finfish). Also, for the first time found annual declines (-23 & -27%) rather than increases in gillnetting in the VRA #Vaquita Refuge

3/4 Acoustic & visual monitoring provides scientific backing for government dialogue with fishing community, says @SEMARNAT_mx @mroblesg, on adjusting rules for specialized protection zones in the short term, & builds the knowledge for the long term perspective for full recovery
