Mexico has banned shark-related tourism activities at a popular Pacific Ocean destination.
Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja California is a hotspot for great white sharks, with cage diving, sport fishing and"shark watching" from pleasure boats among the activities on offer in the area.
This decision effectively ends the once-busy Guadalupe Island tourism economy and impacts tour and charter companies that offer expeditions to the area, many of which are based in San Diego, California, just north of the border. Drones have also been banned, except in limited cases where they are used to monitor plant and animal activity in the reserve.Nautilus Dive Adventures, a Canada-based diving tourism company, is one of those hoping to return to Guadalupe Island.
