The Sea Shepherd vessel the M/V Farley Mowat has arrived in the Sea of Cortez in the Upper Gulf of California to commence a campaign to protect the totoaba fish and the vaquita porpoise - currently the most endangered marine mammal in the world. The last study released showed that less than 30 vaquita were alive. The Sea Shepherd team sighted a vaquita in early 2015, and the Mexican government renewed its commitment to protect the endemic species, using navy and army resources. Sea Shepherd has also worked to remove illegal fishing gear from its habitat.
