Thanks for all the comments! I think it important to mention that dorado became a protected species in Mexico around 1984. It was protected under
Article 68 of the General Law of Mexican Fisheries. As many people know what article 68 what designed to do was to protect the Sea of Cortes. It did
this by saying that dorado and the other species such as marlin and sailfish could not be fished within 50 miles of the coast. This protected pretty
much the whole SOC.
Now as Mexico over fished everything else they have now come for the sport fishing species that were protected. Everyone also knows that the dorado
catch for sport fishing is way down, even though dorado are the fastest growing fish in the oceans.
I think you should all think of the issue like this. Dorado is pretty much no different that tuna 30 years ago. Even though they produce fast does not
mean they will can not be wiped out by commercial fishing. All we ask the Americans to do is enforce their own laws
Dorado is already illegal to import into the United States because of the Lacy Act. The new IUU stuff is just another tool but make no mistake, if the
Sea of Cortes is to be saved then Dorado needs to be protected within it and within the 50 mile zone created by Article 68.
Something I learned a few weeks ago at the Blue Vision summit is this. If we as a species, homo supposed sapiens, don't change what we are doing and
how we are interacting with our oceans then by 2050, 35 short years from now, there will be two tonnes of plastic in the ocean for every ton of fish.
That is a future I don't want to see for my children.
Thanks for the comments and I urge everyone to make a comment with NOAA before the 8th of June deadline!
We at worldsaquarium will litigate the issue if the gringos continue to allow the dorado to cross the border though. Enough if enough!
Saludos a todos!!

The 700,000 that I quote is directly from NOAA and all that fish was sent to the U.S.A. and that is indisputable fact! Anyone can find that
information out if they simply go to the NOAA search query and do some basic clicking.

You can also go on you tube and see the video that Vince did showing the trucks crossing into the US loaded with dorado.
