Wildcoast Press Release

PLAYA TRONCONES, GUERRERO
May 6, 2008

Thanks to the work of WiLDCOAST and the strong support of worldwide public opinion we were able to stop the slaughter of sharks in Playa Troncones in the Mexican coast of Guerrero, and achieved a public commitment to stop threats to this species protected by Mexican and international laws.

"This “ad hoc” campaign was a good example of how quickly organizations and society must act to respond to this kind of events in order to avoid damage to our oceans and marine species.
