The Sea Shepherd environmental group has published a video of an attack by about two dozen small fishing boats on the vessel Farley Mowat in Mexico’s Gulf of California.
Fishermen in the Gulf, also known as the Sea of Cortez, have long complained about environmentalists trying to protect the vaquita marina, the world’s smallest and most endangered porpoise.
Sea Shepherd said Thursday that fishermen threw lead weights and tried to douse the Farley Mowat and waters around it with gasoline on Wednesday.
The video shows some of the fishing boats carried gill nets, though they are banned within . . .
