The shrimp fishery It is one of the most important economic activities in many coastal regions of Mexico. Particularly in Sinaloa This industry is vital to the local economy as it supports thousands of families who depend on it for their subsistence. However, the sustainability of this activity is threatened by illegal fishing and the lack of effective surveillance programs in breeding areas.
He shrimp It is a species that needs specific conditions to reproduce and develop. Their life cycles are intrinsically linked to estuaries and mangroves, where larvae find a protected and nutrient-rich habitat. Unfortunately, in Sinaloa an alarming increase in illegal fishing of shrimp that seek to return to these estuaries to reproduce. This practice endangers shrimp populations and threatens the biodiversity of these vital ecosystems.
In Sinaloa, illegal fishing has become a critical problem. Poachers catch shrimp that have not yet had a chance to reproduce, disrupting the species’ natural regeneration cycle. This problem is aggravated by the lack of resources and personnel dedicated to the surveillance and protection of breeding areas. The consequence is a significant decrease in shrimp catches, negatively affecting both the local economy and the ecological balance. Therefore, it is imperative to implement better surveillance programs in breeding areas with modern technologies, such as drones and satellite surveillance systems.
