Shortfin Mako Shark, Warty Sea Cucumber Protection Sought in Mexico
LA PAZ,
Mexico The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition today seeking protection for the shortfin mako shark and warty sea cucumber under Mexico’s Standard NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, the nation’s list of species at risk. The Mexican fishing industry catches thousands of both species every year.
Today’s legal action seeks protections under NOM-059 outside the normal window that Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) formally opens to receive such proposals. Semarnat opens the process for species proposals every five years, though the agency typically fails to meet even that extended schedule. Semarnat’s practice creates long delays in species’ protections.
