In pairs, they enter the Celestún Fishing Refuge Zone, one of the largest in Mexico. When the conservation nonprofit Oceana analyzed the same data, it found that 34 percent of Mexico’s fisheries are in "poor condition,” says to Esteban García Peña, Oceana’s coordinator of research and public policy. Part of the problem is that, under Mexican law, no one is obligated to look after the health of the country’s fisheries; Mexico’s General Fisheries Law doesn’t obligate the government to take on this responsibility. This inspired a proposal to revive Mexico’s deteriorated fishing zones, only for it not to be analyzed or approved by Congress, and the project was frozen. They talk about sea cucumbers because, although it is not part of Mexican gastronomy, its fishing has brought a lot of profit to this coast.
