There was a second protest yesterday afternoon at the delegacion at Cabo San Lucas against Shark Norma 029. My Mexican neighbors say there were
perhaps more than the 30,000 marchers expected and the whole thing got lots of press. I was warned there would be lots of migra there looking for
people with my kind of visa so I couldn't attend. On the previous electronic protest we sent almost 200,000 emails.
If you see the news anywhere, please give me the link. Thanksfishbuck - 6-5-2007 at 01:58 PM
So what's next? What can we do?Iflyfish - 6-5-2007 at 01:59 PM
Good one. Thanks for keeping us posted and this issue front and center.

Gonna take back all the negative thoughts I ever had about Cabo. 30,000 marching for the benefit of conservation. They've got my support. Suspect the world is on their side. Good luck.Diver - 6-5-2007 at 02:14 PM
Here's a link to s story about the ongoing protest, etc.
No news on the more recent protest you mention.
I was about to post that Register link from today.
Really glad to see follow-up protests to let MDF know that we are still here. I can imagine that there would be 30,000 protestors in Cabo for
ANYTHING, though.
I really think the best thing that many of us can do is what the article suggests: donate money to The Billfish Foundation with an earmark to this
issue. They appear to be taking the lead in this.
I'm sending in 100.00 (that's US, of course) tonight. Anybody else?
The other thing we can do is if you are a paying member of one of the "conservation" groups supporting this new law; yank your support and let them
know why.

ENFORCEMENT

Yesterday morning I saw four white pickups pass the front gate of the rancho, each with four guys in the back. Most unusual, this is a lonely part of
the Pacific coast.
I asked my ranch manager whether they were construction laborers (the coast is slowly waking up) and he said "No - PGR".
It appears the Feds are enforcing the no-net law along this coast - probably the last bullet in the head for the local fishing industry, already in
the final stages of collapse.
They've got my support.
Suspect the world is on their side.
