Me neither! I can get to the headline of the article, but not the text!

The LA times should fire their web-content manager. The site is large PDF that you swipe up, down and page to page like a smart phone. The instructions are pop given when you first login.

Swipe down and you will see the first page, swipe a few pages to the left and you will find the second page of the article.

OMHO, if the vaquita takes 6 years to mature and only has a pup once every other year. It's doomed. The Mexican Govt is handing out welfare to hard working people. A fraction of what they can make on the water. I'm surprised they just don't farm totuaba and sell it to the chinese.

Another current, 6/5/17 Vaquita article:
personally, I would have to see a lot of info to the contrary
that would cast doubt that Sea Shepard does nothing but good work

They do that too.

Interestingly, Many of the Chinese voodo medicines are counterfeits, with the prices the Chinese pay, many unscrupulous are selling the suckers counterfeits.
If sea Shepard wa smart, they would flood the market with good counterfeits and drive down the price of real stuff, eh?

The Sea of Cortez is becoming a dust bowl.
Fishing practices are no different than 50 yrs ago expect for the use
of outboard motors and plastic buckets.
The rust belt of Baja just keeps expanding
