US offically imposes embargo on export of Mexican wild ocean-caught shrimp
Due to problems with lack of turtle excluder devices on nets.
Farm-raised shrimp OK to export.

EU hace oficial embargo contra camarón mexicano; ya no se puede exportar
Have never seen shrimp farms on the Baja; only on the mainland.

There is a large aquaculture project north of San Juan de La Costa. I think they are farming shrimp, but do not have first hand knowledge of what is
in those ponds.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Actually there is a shrimp farm in La Paz out near Pichillingue right where the Libramiento ties into the
shoreline road. On the bay side of the road is a hatchery for amberjack with their growout pens at Isla Gaviota. The shrimp farm is across the road
from the hatchery. I believe the pens over at San Juan de La Costa are totuava.

Strange timing. Most everyone I know has never seen so many turtles, as in the last five years. Their nesting areas have become much more protected
than ever before, over here. Nests are literally fenced off, when discovered, so ATVs and foot traffic cant damage them. We have an organization
comprised of Mexicans and gringos who monitor the beaches during nesting season.
Then there's the timing of it being at the ABSOLUTE END OF SHRIMP TRAWLER SEASON.  Political points without any real effect, right now.
