Saving the Wonders of the Sea of Cortez | OnEarth Magazine. Great story that ends with some hope and explains a lot.For 1 lb of shrimp caught the Big trawlers drag and kill 40 lb of other sea life in waters 300 feet deep and up.The Corvina comeback was a result of the decline of Shark numbers and their spawning aggregations are being fished to distraction again.This might explain their lesser numbers around here this fall. eating trawler caught shrimp is bad for theSea regardless of how good they taste at the time.Then you see the damage the farmed ones are doing in the important mangrove swamps and it gets worse.Effective world goverment intervention with monies to aid the enforcement effort could be the best hope....you black helicopter guys will really hate that

What about the six months the shrimp boats are parked? The pangas bring the shrimp that slept in the ocean the night before if you know where to buy.
Perro, the big places like Seafood Industries, get enough product during the season to freeze and sell during the off season, during the season you can even go to them and buy it before they freeze it in the blocks!
