Mexican Fisheries Regulations Protect Sport Fishing in Baja California Sur
What happened
For three years, no new bill has attempted to remove dorado, tarpon, and roosterfish from sport fishing status in Mexican fisheries politics. Federal deputy Luis Armando Díaz stated that nothing has advanced to free up dorado for commercial fishing, even though it is reserved for sport fishing.

Why it matters
Mexican law reserves six species, including dorado, exclusively for sport fishing within 50 nautical miles of the coastline. This regulation is critical for the charter fleet in Los Cabos, where billfish and dorado are the main attraction.
