Much of their catch is immature, hastening the demise of the fish population by taking fish that have not had the chance to multiply. It goes on and on, day after day. They are killing a resource that could sustain them for generations. But changes must be made soon. It is not too late to revive the sea to its abundance of the past.
Marine environments have tremendous regenerative powers.
But it has to start before it's too late. The goal of The Sea of Cortez International Preservation Foundation is one of increasing public awareness and assisting other groups and organizations in workable solutions. The Mexican government must be made aware that a great many people in the United States as well as Mexico are concerned about the future of this magnificent sea. The foundation is developing an advisory board of experts from science and business to help in developing workable solutions. Tim Means, founder and president of Baja Expeditions and a resident of La Paz, has agreed to work closely with us.
