Focus on Fishermen
With generous support from the Walton Family Foundation, CEDO will be developing and implementing a series of trainings to over 1,000 artesanal fishermen who harvest in marine protected areas. In addition to the trainings, participating fishers will receive technological devices to help them self-monitor the locations of their harvests and to track by-catch. This technology-based support will be purchased with special funding from the Save the Whales Foundation and the American Cetacean Society-Monterey Bay Chapter. Watch for a press release on our website soon.

 | The Vaquita
|
CEDO's year of the Vaquita: 2012
In recognition of the dire situation of the vaquita marina (Phocoena sinus), CEDO is focusing the majority of its 2012 fundraising efforts on the protection of this critically endangered species. Your gifts in the coming year will support local fishermen's and CEDO's cooperative efforts at reducing by-catch in the Northern Gulf, in strengthening public and social policies and practices to protect the vaquita's habitat, and in educating the public on this little porpoise, which only lives in the Northern Gulf waters. New research on the vaquita will be published onto CEDO's website soon.

Rock Scallops: Tasty treats from the Gulf
 | Rock Scallops
|
Although listed as a protected species in Mexico, the abundance of the rock scallop along the shores of the Northern Gulf of California has given Mexico's Department of Wildlife justification to allow limited commercial harvesting of this tasty seafood. Only one organization may harvest the rock scallop in the Upper Gulf, and that cooperative of divers has worked with CEDO for nearly 15 years to ensure a reasonable livelihood for fishers while maintaining adequate protection of the scallop fishery.
