The crew of this ship is on a mission to try and save one of the most endangered sea creatures on the planet. They’re in the middle of a marine protected area in Mexico - a conservation zone where certain types of fishing are banned.
Local fishermen are poaching a species of fish that is so highly prized in China, they can make tens of thousands of dollars in just one night. With ocean life under threat from overfishing, pollution and climate change, could marine protected areas be the answer?
Near the Mexican fishing town of San Felipe, on the The Upper Gulf of California...
Conservation group, Sea Shepherd is working with the authorities to help enforce a Marine Protected Area - or MPA. A designated section of ocean to be conserved, managed and protected.
Maintaining rich, diverse ecosystems is key for the health of the Ocean - and ultimately the survival of humanity. But ocean life is under threat. From plants to micro-organisms and animals, species are disappearing forever.
Marine Biologist Patricia Gandolfo and the rest of the Sea Shepherd crew are here to stop poachers.
Caught up in the nets of the criminal gangs and local fishermen is one particularly rare porpoise - the Vaquita. Worldwide there are thousands of sea species currently threatened with extinction. Losing just one species from the food chain can have a disastrous effect on an entire ecosystem.
After it’s sold on, the Totoaba’s swim bladder can fetch up to $100,000 a kilo in China, where it’s prized for its medicinal properties.
Critics disapprove of Sea Shepherds use of direct-action tactics in some of their campaigns, but in the Gulf of California, their presence is welcomed by the Mexican government.
Globally, the fishing industry employs 260 million people, but many more subsistence fishermen depend on the ocean for their income. Local fisherman here claim protecting the ocean has limited how they can fish, destroying their way of life. Yet doing nothing may ultimately present more of a threat to their livelihoods.
Currently Marine Protected Areas make up only 3.6% of the world’s ocean but a growing number of scientists are calling for 30% to be protected by 2030.
Cabo Pulmo now has a thriving eco-tourism and diving industry. The environmental rewards provided by the MPA to the local community have been valued at millions of dollars a year - Far more than they ever made from fishing.
The ocean is facing its greatest ever challenge - overfishing, pollution and climate change are all threatening the health of a resource on which the whole world depends.
Marine protected areas can come in many forms. But if they are to be effective, they must align the need for conservation with the needs of those who depend on the ocean for survival.
In order to avoid disaster-and to ensure a sustainable supply of fish for the future-far more of our ocean needs urgent protection.

I refuse to be harsh to those who spoil life in the water. I'm proud of you guys who can keep life underwater. I felt very much when I was a part of this team because I could save the animals from a man who was hungry for his greed.
Let's all do our part!! Write to our local senators, demand protection of our sea!! Inform more people, practice and teach conservation methods. We can all sign up to help volunteer and clean up our oceans too let's spread the word and get everybody involved.
LET S ACT
STOP THE EVIL RICH PEOPLE IN THE FAROE ISLANDS DENMARK WHO SLAUGHTER DOLPHINS AND ALL SMALL MARINE MAMMALS
THEY ARE KILLING THE OCEANS BIG TIME
Of course we can all do our part to clean and protect our oceans. May all countries and people join in the maritime effort. Let’s all do our part - whether government, business, organization, or individual. We can do it. May we all move to eco friendly vegan sustainability!
These PEOPLE ARE THE REAL HEROES OF THE WORLD
The vessel unloading its catch in Bangkok is not a fishing vessel but a transshipment vessel. It got its fish from fishing vessels on the high seas.
this is great journalism, keep it up Economist!
Go S.S.C.S.!!!. What some Warriors. You are my hero's as Capt. Paul Watson, is so wonderful.
Some promising examples! We need more of this.
Amazing!!! Great job! Congratulations
We work to clean up the ocean in our area. It can be hard work, and so disheartening at times.
Perhaps all everyone things be not easy it makes easy by doing hard work, so all countries require they solve such crucial issues by contributions to each other, then all tough things must turn easily, which be the helpfull for all countries.
great video, very interesting to understand new methods of fighting illegal fishing!
The Human Being is never satisfied and beyond, the only animal to be afraid of.
I love how technology helps to make the world a better place
always people..just people 👊
Greed ,amassing wealth is lauded as a respectable goal in tiers of society. Men attract women and engender envy , alas a euro thing.
Thank you economist
Great work
All question sits on saving the question of existence of labouring force and growing more with it
Wow.. it all pays off..
Nice video 🌍🌍🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
you never stop greed. never
The problem with MPAs will always be enforcement. Too much area for the minimal staff to guard
Only if everybody stop for 5 years
great one
An excellent video
Greate video
Bangkok Thailand ??
Imagine China didn't implement the "One-Child" Policy.
It just got removed too.
The answer for large scale overfishing is:
Jus ban using all of these large scale fishing ships (or factories). Any similar large scale fishing has to mean total loss of equipment (that is scapped asap, no usage ever after), sanctions that are tens of times higher than annual benefits that you may gain from them and jail sentences for all who are owning them or buying their products at large scale.
We have to have marine sanctuaries where: NO HUMANS are allowed.
And so what's happening with the dumping of Fukushima nuclear waste into the Pacific?
This vedio is good. I have a qustion why it do not tell us who are the main consumers/clients of the wilde fish or ivory? They are not the most of Chinese. We can not afford them. China has a lot of factories to process the raw materials. But who buy the products? Should they be responsible for the market?
bookmark for myself: 12:09
I'm no economist, but what should be happening with situations like the tuna in Thailand is the fish should be confiscated, offloaded, and given to local people for free. By not letting the ships offload, the fish would just be wasted. This would stop illegal catching because there would be no profit, but until the message got across locals would have a source of food.

Better than NatGeo
Watch
next time, let them speak in their own language and then translate it through subtitles. it will be easier for the interviewee and the people watching the video
I really want to join sb. to clean the ocean wastes
sadsad for humanity... lab grown animal parts cant come fast enough
The Fish populations have become so depleted, Many sea birds have evolved into
scavengers. I am a couple of miles from the coast & Every day the sea gulls hang out
on the rooftop of my shop and scavenge scraps of fast food that are left by the school
kids in the adjacent school yard. It is really sad. Normally these Birds should be at the
beach catching fish, in their normal habitat. Many of the sea birds hang out at dump sights
& scrounge for anything they can find to keep from starving, probably consuming pieces of
plastic in the process, Lots of dead sea birds have plastic stuck in their digestive tracks.
I think Fishing should be banned for at least 5 years to allow some sort of recovery, But it
will probably take longer than that. Scientists say the Bluefin tuna will likely become extinct
very soon as the remaining fish stocks are near the lower end of sustainability, & the Blue fin
remain in huge demand due to the large profits raked in by the greedy fishing industry.
Omg
Why would the fish be destroyed? It’s genetics are invaluable for future cloning. You need to save as much genetic diversity as possible for the future.
I plan to join Sea Shepherd sometime soon. You can too here: www.seashepherdglobal.org/get-involved/volunteer-sea/
i always saw sea Shepard as kinda stupid for their fight against whaling in Norway. which is legal and non threatening to the eco system.
but this is cool.
They don't get them? That's lame, reminds me of South Park's take on the relationship between the Japanese and the whale conservation guys.
Really very much demand and supply set price, laws if coupled with severe stigma may lessen capture , until human population growth is controlled. Won't happen if the rampant reproduction continues.
given exponential human growth and poverty i see no positive result
i'm Chinese, fire at me.
Its always china
Ho!!!I
poison the fish in the net a few times the market will disapear
Slow down hard or better yet stop eating fish, and animals in general.
