Interests around shrimp fisheries are great and the only way to do something is by using alternate fishing technologies. The main problem that cause Vaquita mortality is the gill nets (totoaba, sharks and now shrimp), specially the very long ones that, it is supposed, are forbidden. It is important ti review the alternatives related with shrimp fishing technologies in the Upper Gulf of California.
