I would only disagree with her in that I believe that the effort to protect the vaquita has been anemic and half-hearted. But there is a new tactic being used. Concrete blocks with exposed rebar is being intentionally placed in the vaquita reserve to hold and destroy nets as they are being placed. Sea Shepherd has seen a 90% decrease in nets in the area.
