Inspection and budget deficiencies cause an increase in loggerhead turtle deaths in the Gulf of Ulloa: fishermen and NGOs

The loggerhead turtle has been recognized as an endangered species since 1994. The establishment of a fishing refuge area in the Gulf of Ulloa, Baja California Sur, which seeks its preservation, is the same place where more than 1,900 specimens died from 2017 to 2020, according to official data.
