Big boats
They are purse seiners. They are, of course, not actually fishing in the park, and there is no rule against them anchoring here and using port
facilities. The fact that ships of this size are in the gulf at all is a direct outcome of the Shark Norma 29 act that was signed into law by the
current president after having been vetoed earlier.

No port fees to anchor in the bays? Wow...thats kinda cool.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Wow They look like oil riggs! Hopefully they don't head north! Take all the
fuel off and they'd make GREAT FISH HABITAT
Bahia Concepcion where life starts...given a chance!

Great idea Russ! About time the did some good, instead of
consistently, methodically raping the area! Drain the tanks and scuttle them!

Seiners
About 2 weeks ago some local commercial fishermen handlined some very large yellowfin tuna down near the south end of the Loreto Marine Park, one
weighed 180 pounds. Suddenly these 3 seiners show up. Note the helicopters on the cabin roofs.
The 3 seiners are capable of catching and transporting 3,032 tons of tuna among them - per trip. They are now permitted to fish in the Gulf of
California, very efficiently it would seem.
Atilano Castaño – Capacity 1089 tons
Maria Veronica – capacity 1089 tons
Buenaventura 2 – capacity 858 tons

Do you know what country these ships are registered to? Oh, sure bet, the local small to medium production fisherman or co-op do not get a vote as to
whether or not seiners and trawlers from other countries get to rape the waters they are trying to make a living from. It is all about the money!!

They are Mexican vessels.

If you want to do something about it, don't buy canned tuna.
