RE: A new count of the vaquita (Phocoena sinus) reveals that there are most likely only 12 individuals left!
I did some research and it's sadly only 30 individuals which is very sad. Because there is nothing that will bring them back unless the government bans all fishing in the area, which they can't as this affects the fishermen who aren't committing any illegal fishing acts.
Yeah, fishing should be stopped if we want them to grow.
It's too late to ban fishing at this point. 12 of them left is just to few to survive long-term.
Yeah :( sad
Unfortunately the number 30 is from last year, and there are most likely only 12 left now.
At this point it would probably not even help to ban all fishing. I mean, the illegal fishing would probably still carry on as usual anyway.
