Gulf of California ecosystem. Ultimately, we aim to help save the vaquita from extinction, and to do so in a way that also provides long-term benefits to the fisherman and other residents of Baja California, Mexico.
The vaquita porpoise is the rarest and most-endangered species of marine mammal in the world. It is Critically Endangered with only 245 remaining in 2008 (probably fewer now!). It is smallest, of only seven species of true porpoises, and is the only one that lives in warm waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is found in a tiny area in the extreme northern Gulf of California, in Baja California, Mexico.
