Thanks DK.
I hope this news is true. I would love to fish that area if it makes a comeback.I have seen areas that have been closed and it is truely amazing how
well they can recover.

I certainly hope so. If the government subsidies were eliminated, as they should be, the price of shrimp would be forced to find a realistic level.
It may even have a detrimental effect on demand. That would also be a good thing. Shrimping, wild or farmed, are an ecological and "marine life in
general" disaster.

Grande shrimp, w/o heads, are running around 175-200 pesos/kilo this year.
What are you guys paying over there?
I'm also wondering what the definition of "northern sea of cortez" is? If it was closed from Kino, north, that would be the end of a huge percentage
of the shrimping grounds.

It absolutely amazes me how so many people can pound the sand and cry about the loss of life and fish (and their personal fishing) in the SOC, yet
still imbibe in the costliest method of harvesting there is, shrimping.
Save the whales, just as long as it doesn't interfere in my comfort zone.

I was at Cinco Islas November 2014 and a local guy mentioned that there was a plan to ban net boats and allow only rod / reel fishing. That area just
gets pounded with gill nets and shrimp boats, there were half a dozen dragging the same spot every night.
I will say, though, if the water is clean you can pound the heck out of the fish and they will bounce back pretty fast if they get a breather,
particularly the faster growing species. If the water is unfit to support life no amount of fishing restrictions will help. Witness the Southern
California bight, turned into a massive toilet starting in the 1950's with the installation of the Hyperion sewage outfall; The tuna (then abalone,
etc.) disappeared and never came back. South of the border there are no deep water outfalls. The "primitive" infrastructure in Baja results in clean
water offshore. Capturing the entire flow of rivers (Colorado, San Joaquin) behind dams and using the water once and then dumping it in the sea --
bad for fishing.
