The issue of the release of Dorado to commercial fishing has been a topic in each new government transition, as mentioned by the President of the Association for the Preservation of Picudos, Clicerio Mercado, who mentioned that this threat is real and must be taken with the seriousness that it should be so that it does not happen.
“Unfortunately, we have always mentioned that the interests of commercial fishing are such that over the years they have Deputies, Senators, Governors and this time is no exception in such a way that the threat is real there it is.”
Sport fishing in El Dorado represents 30% of the active economy of the municipality of Los Cabos, as well as other entities that have emerged thanks to this tourist turn
“El Dorado is approximately 30% of sport fishing and sport fishing has been the basis of development not only in BCS, which we can name Los Cabos, Los Barriles, Loreto, so many destinations that are emerging through and thanks to sport fishing, I think it would be a very serious blow not only to sport fishing, but to the tourism industry in general.”
Finally, he called on the general population to join forces so that the release of the dorado to commercial fishing is not permitted, which if approved will affect the tourism industry throughout the State
“The call is to join forces and all look for a way to prevent that from happening, it would be a disgrace, a very strong blow to the tourism industry.”
