Thank you so very much, Chris, for creating this much-needed educational piece about the vaquita. I hope that, through increased awareness and concerted conservation and research efforts, we can indeed bring the tiny vaquita porpoise back from the brink of extinction. Thank you so very much for your wonderful work and passion for the issue.

Thanks for reminding me to continue to avoid buying shrimp or ordering shrimp at restaurants – bycatch leads to marine mammal extinction.
