Only 7–10 Left: Ban ALL Fishing to Save It… or Protect San Felipe Fishermen?

Fewer than 10 vaquitas remain on Earth—between 7 and 10—and a drone filmed a mother swimming with her calf. In San Felipe, about 85% of fishermen still use prohibited gillnets because legal alternatives are expensive and hard to get. So here’s the hard question: should fishing be totally banned in the vaquita’s habitat to save the species… or should fishing be allowed to protect the livelihoods of San Felipe fishermen? Drop your take: TEAM VAQUITA or TEAM FISHERMEN. I’m reading every comment. Credit: Video by Sea Shepherd. Latest estimates: between 7 and 10 vaquitas; recent sightings confirm the population is stable, with calves observed.
