Off the coast of San Felipe, Mexico in the waters of the Baja Peninsula, two anti-poaching Sea Shepherd ships patrol the area for illegal fishing nets. Though the nets cast by local fishermen are meant to catch totoabas - fish whose swim bladders are considered Chinese delicacies and go for around $20,000 USD on the black market — the nets indiscriminately tangle and kill all manner of sea life, including the Vaquitas dolphin which is near extinction.
