First Baseline study of Marine Park of Loreto begins!

Seven divers from UABCS La Paz have begun a scientific study of the marine life and conditions of the No-Take Zone inside the Loreto Bay National Park. “No-Take Zone” means no fishing, no clamming, and no taking of anything. This zone serves as a nursery so fishing in the marine park can continue to occur and thrive outside of the No-Take Zone. This is the first study of the No-Take Zone and will serve as a baseline to determine the health of the marine park over time.
