Vaquita porpoise critically close to becoming extinct

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society concludes its Operation Milagro II, which was launched to protect the critically endangered vaquita porpoise, and other marine mammals, from the use of gillnets in the Gulf of California.

Estimates by the International Commission for the Recovery of the Vaquita porpoise state there are only 60 left in the world.
