Incredible long-period signal on station MX.SRIG (Santa Rosalia, Mexico, courtesy of the Mexican National Seismic Network) - assuming this one was harmless (?)

Things haven’t looked good for the #vaquita for decades, but the last few years have brought the species to the #BrinkOfExtinction . #Endemic & #exclusive to the upper #GulfOfCalifornia - the pint-size #porpoise has become an unfortunate bycatch of fishing operations in the area, primarily the illegal catching of #totoaba .
Listed as #Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature
#IUCN #RedList of #ThreatenedSpecies

This is close-up of the skin of a Panamic Cushion Star. I found this one in the Gulf of California, which is the northern limit of their range. Sea Stars are always fun to watch, especially their tube feet as they move across the ocean floor.

This California sea lion came down to say hello on a dive in the Gulf of California. We saw many of these charismatic creatures, with the females and juveniles coming over to check us out and blow bubbles at us while the big males patrolled the area making sure we didn't try any funny business.

Some of Mexico’s most notorious wildlife traffickers are now in jail. Members of the “Totoaba Cartel” targetted the swim bladders of totoaba which can sell for up to US $80,000/kg, earning them the nickname “the cocaine of the sea.”
