The first sentence: " 7 tons 148 kilos 500 grams of geoduck and abalone" is probably correct, the latter paragraph probably meant to read: "2 tons 280
kilos of abalone"; that would equal out the math. Simple misprint, possibly in the auto-translation. Gotta love the journalistas in this day and
age, both here and abroad. Ain't what they used-ta-be.
Still that's a lot of contraband and illegal as well as over harvest. Mexico could use more Coooperativos AND paid vigilancias. Seems to be working
well in the central Peninsula area.

Imagine what gets by, desperate need for more patrols and enforcement or bye bye breeding population.

I just read the Article. And it says 7 tons, 148 kilos and 500 grams of combined
geoduck and abalone. 4 tons, 868 kilos and 500 grams of geoduck and
2 tons 280 kilos of abalone.

I wonder from where the "harvest" was coming from? What area...

not sure where, but all of us who spend time along the north/central coast can tell stories of the wanton disregard for the seasons and limits. I know
of a restaurant on H1 where you need to ask for "pollo del mar" to get a lobster burrito, in season or not. ask for langosta and they look at you
funny....
it's their country!
