Thousands of tons of illegally caught dorado are being
exported to the USA, despite being a species reserved exclusively for
sportfishing.
The fish are being caught on longlines that are killing
thousands of turtles and seabirds as well as decimating the dorado (also known
as mahi mahi or dolphinfish) population.
The trade is lucrative as well as illegal and there is strong
evidence to suggest that the cartels are involved using the illegal sales to
launder dirty money.
Everyone loves to eat dorado; being caught on a rod and reel
is fair and sports can choose to release the fish if they want. Everyone is
fine with that, but no-one wants to see the decimation of this important
sportfish just to line the pockets a gangsters.
Please take a few seconds and ask the US government to add
Mexican dorado to the "at risk list", you will be helping fellow
fishermen too as there will be more fish in the sea for everyone to catch.
There is only until June 8th to do this so act now; take a
few seconds, click the link and write a quick comment.
