Villagers denounced the discovery of some 130 dead turtles by illegal fishing nets in Soto La Marina, in Tamaulipas.
“What happens is that the turtles arrive they enter the net, they suffocate, as you know the turtle has to go out for air, they suffocate, the fishermen arrive, they take out their net, and when they see the turtles or other species go of fish that they are not interested in throwing them out of the sea back and the sea will really take it from us, ”said Alejandro Garza Peña, a member of the Parks and Biodiversity Commission.
The member of the Parks and Biodiversity Commission, Alejandro Garza Peña, said that he began with the corresponding procedure, so that those responsible are fined.
“We are thinking of proposing to CONAPESCA to make an agreement with the state to grant us those powers, so that we can grant them to the fishing secretariat for example, that we have the powers to be able to collect those nets, and put a fine, ”Garza Peña added.
La Pesca, is the most extensive reservoir along the Gulf coast, with an area of 230 kilometers of salt water, and is considered an area protected by the wide variety of water birds, as well as being the nesting site of the lora turtle.
