Mexico Gets Tough on Illegal Fishing Practices
Mexico's Rep. Diaz Tejeda proposes a fishing law overhaul to fight illegal practices harming ecosystems and livelihoods. Her plan includes harsher penalties, tech monitoring, and education campaigns to ensure a sustainable fishing future for Mexico.
There's a storm brewing in Mexican waters, but it's not a meteorological one. It's a legislative tempest, spearheaded by Representative Nélida Díaz Tejeda (PRI), who's casting a wide net to capture the culprits – illegal fishers.
Díaz Tejeda isn't your average politician content with catch-and-release platitudes. She's reeling in a reform so comprehensive, it'd make Jacques Cousteau proud. We're talking revamping the Federal Penal Code and the General Law of Sustainable Fishing and Aquaculture, all with one goal: to vanquish the villain of this story – illegal fishing.
