I saw a FONMAR truck today and it left me wondering, what the heck is FONMAR? Something to do with fisheries is all I know. But how does it relate to
CONAPESCA etc all?
I did a cursory search and came up with this site that lists most of the goverment agencies and what the acronym stands for. http://www.spangate.my.proz.com/Mexac.html#A
Pretty cool...but no FONMAR on the list.
Are there any other good resources that list all the agencies and acronyms? Perhaps even explaining what they do?

Cool site. Mexico wouldn't have a language if all the acronyms were deleted. Seems like they use them for every group with more than two people.

Thanks BajaGringo. Is FONMAR exclusive to Baja Sur or is it a national/federal agency?

I believe it is a state agency that is funded by fishing license fees in BCS. I haven't seen them up our way - yet...
