Shrimpers 1/17/10
Here are two of five that are working the mouth of Conception and maybe inside the bahia too. It's an icy calm day and these two are parked right
infront of my place. I attached the old 500mm for this shot

I saw one today off Loreto. Between town and the north end of Isla Carmen. It was heading west, then minutes later turned south, and about five
minutes later turned north towards Coronado.

Can you say... di·lap·i·dat·ed!
Back some forty years ago I crossed the Gulf from San Felipe to Guyamas Sonora in a Shrimp boat that looked similar to that one, but it was in a lot
better shape. A sling was set up aft where you hooked yourself in to go to the bathroom. Kind of cool.

I'm not up to speed on this issue and how the current Laws and Regulations governing same are written or interpreted
I see there are current laws on the books governing Environmental issues of concern.
Could this type of fishing be considered or proven to be in non compliance with current Environmental Laws of Mexico?
Again, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before, but could not bring it up on a search
Thanks for any input

Sorry all. I miss labeled the title as seiners originally and made a correction. Thanks
wessongroup, Nice to see some one is reading the regs. You know more than i do for sure. What I do know is they have and continue to destroy the
fisheries here.

I'm sure glad you cleared that up Russ
I was sure the ones hanging "doors" were shrimpers
I was about to start at a thread asking for pics of the different
types of fishing boats (commercial)

Wessongroup, it matters little what the letter of the law is when Mexico all but refuses to enforce the laws regarding commercial fishing anyway.

Shrimpers take a heavy toll of larval and juvenile fish, they're called bycatch. Most of the bycatch is dumped overboard.

you can really tell when the "bycatch" is in the water too
the pelicans don't fly out
they just sit in the water and eat

Was just interested in "how" the law was written and if it could be applied to this type of fishing..
Enforcement is another topic all togather as I know you are aware
However, if one does have a law to start with, well... it is a law and it is on the books
