In this area anyway. It's not just the big boats there are hundreds if not thousands of pangas here and if the calimari fishery doesn't support them
then they fish or use nets to reap what they can to survive. |
From what I understand backhanders are being
given to the municipality to turn a blind eye to this. These boats come from Sinaloa I've been told.
While on a kayak tour with Eco-Mundo some 20 years ago, Roy our host and guide, told us about the long-line practices which you'll see all over the
Sea of Cortez. I've chosen to not eat shrimp since that education.
This is horribly destructive and within the Bay of Conception, illegal. To stop this practice and restore the seas, don't buy the product, imo.

On re-reading it my head spun around.]

hmm...so you mean to tell me that overfishing is damaging to the ocean? Where's Skeet when you need him??????????????
I'm not going to lie, I LOVE shrimp! But what we buy generally is farm-raised. Did you know there are 4 shrimp farms in Arizona?

Speaking of "unwanted visitors." The shrimp boat crew is probably looking at the shoreline and ranting about the rape of their land and beaches by
nomadic tribes from the north.

Probably true, although it wouldn't happen without the encouragement from Mexican developers and government entities. Another thing: these "nomadic
tribes" are not decimating whole species. They are, however, somewhere in the food chain along with locals.
By the way,they bring money and help local economies. Once they break ground, rape and pillage, buy tacos and beans and break wind, they are no longer
"Nomadic". Ahhhh....Baja!

re: export Mexican shrimp - guess where?
By Christine Blank, SeafoodSource contributing editor
30 March, 2010 - The United States’ temporary import ban on wild shrimp from Mexico should have little impact on the U.S. shrimp supply, according to
a major supplier.
On Thursday, the U.S. State Department announced that it’s prohibiting Mexico from exporting wild shrimp to the United States, effective 20 April,
because a limited number of Mexican trawlers fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and Sea of Cortez are not using turtle excluder devices (TEDs) properly and
are inadvertently trapping sea turtles. TEDs are designed to reduce sea turtle mortality. The ban does not include farmed shrimp.
However, Mexico’s wild shrimp season ended in March, and the certification allowing Mexico to export wild shrimp to the United States may be
re-instated by this fall.
“If the certification became re-instated in October, like the Mexican government and vessel owners expect, the volume exported to the United States
will not be affected,” Rodrigo de la Serna, procurement manager for Ocean Garden Products, told SeafoodSource. The San Diego-based company is one of
the country’s largest importers of wild Mexican shrimp.
The Gulf of Mexico shrimp season typically begins in July, and the Sea of Cortez shrimp fishery starts in August or September.
“Hopefully, the volume will not be affected if we have a quick response and if the results of [State Department] inspections are acceptable,” said de
la Serna.
The U.S. government is working with the Mexican government to improve Mexico’s shrimp-trawl program and seek re-instatement of the certification.
“The State Department can make certification decisions at any time of the year,” said State Department spokesperson Noel Clay. “The annual
certification called for in Section 609 is due to the Congress by 1 May of each year, but decisions to certify or to withdraw certification are often
made at other times, based on evidence of country-wide compliance or non-compliance. We’re working with the government of Mexico to minimize the
decertification period and to renew Mexican shrimp export certification as quickly as possible pursuant to the mandate of U.S. law.”
To that end, the Mexican government, with support from the United States, is implementing a 2010-2012 TED Usage Program, said De La Serna. The program
will re-train fishermen about the “importance of the right use of TEDs,” explained de la Serna. “Then, we expect the Mexican fisheries will perform
without endangering the marine turtles.”
Mexico exported more than 90 million pounds of shrimp — wild and farmed — to the United States last year, making the country the United States’ No. 6
shrimp supplier, behind Thailand, Indonesia, Ecuador, Vietnam and China.
