La Paz, Baja California Sur, August 1, 2025 – During the most recent session of the Technical Commission on Finance and Administration of the Fund for the Protection of Marine Resources

(FONMAR), headed by Director General, Martín Inzunza Tamayo, two priority proposals were unanimously approved, reflecting the unwavering commitment of the State Government to Marine Conservation and Safety in the South Californian waters.

 ·       The first was the reallocation of 4.1 million pesos to give response to the request of the former Commissioner of CONAPESCA, Dr. Alejandro Flores Nava, at the urgent request of the Observers on Board in the Gulf of Ulloa, an area impacted by the Yellow Turtle mortality. This program will be implemented in coordination with CIBNOR as a key measure to reverse the current Mexican negativity in environmental matters.

·       Likewise, the acquisition of two Long-Distance Marine Radars was authorized for Cabo San Lucas in response to the appeal by the Board of Los Cabos Security. This equipment will be used by the Secretariat of the Navy, Port Captaincy, and ASIPONA for strengthening surveillance and in response to the capacity in a strategic area of tourism activity and state fisheries.

  During his speech, the Coordinator of the Commission, Martín Inzunza Tamayo recognized the relevance of both actions to strengthen the inter-institutional collaboration with CONAPESCA and SEMAR. In addition, he conveyed the recognition of the Governor of the State, Prof. Víctor Manuel Castro Cosío, to the Secretariat of the Navy for its permanent disposition to safeguard natural resources and the security of the South Californians.
