Just got back from that area. The gill netters are fishing 24 hours a day. You hear them all night long. No running lights. Just completely
fishing the area out. There is NO enforcement whatsoever. A disgrace.
There is a sea lion with a piece of net over it's neck. We first saw her in Feb. The rope is cutting in real bad now. A living hell to a slow
death.
Does anyone know the official law of gill netting in that area? Us gringos should pitch in and pay an enforcement presence. It is truly a crying
shame to see that area being so depleted. Maybe if we all reported this to right authorities, something might happen.
Until then, or anything, kiss it goodbye.
Bummer.
A trip report with pictures soon.

So happens a lot really means that gill nets are the problem. The gill netters are not supposed to be there. So somehow they need to be chased out.
This area needs that to happen.
Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, the gill netters cause mucho problemos!
I have a boat in Rocky Point and it seems every time I go out at night, I get hung up in some guys net. No patrols at night I guess.
Plus side is, I get a lot of hookah diving time and get to inspect the bottom of the boat.

But they are not locals fishing the area. They are from Sonora and other places.
In my 6 days there, I saw no enforcement boats. Just pangas gill netting.
Yea, something stinks when officials will target gringos for possible cash and look the other way at gill netters who have no money.
