The Endangered Vaquita Porpoise in the Sea of Cortez

Image
Updated 7/7/17 Vaquita mother & calf. Artist: Raziel Levi Mendez Moreno The seldom-seen Vaquita is a small porpoise (similar to a dolphin) that lives only in the northern reaches of the Gulf of California between the states of Baja California and Sonora below the Colorado River delta. Unfortunately, a rare Sea of Cortez fish called the Totuava swims in that same region. The Chinese value the bladder of Totuava in the thousands of dollars making fishing very profitable for the fisherman of the area.

Buying Auto Insurance for Baja & Mexico

Image
Below, please find a brief description on Mexican auto insurance for those planning on driving into Baja California or mainland Mexico. Why Buy Mexican Auto Insurance? Insurance from a Mexican company is required by Mexican law in the event of an accident, even if you are not at fault. A Mexican Insurance policy greatly reduces the chances that you will face jail time, and limits the financial burden you might come by after an accident. A Mexican Insurance policy provides coverage for damage to your vehicle or its total loss. Under Mexican law, motorists are required to have insurance, or "proof of financial responsibility", in the event of an accident, even if you did not cause it. As a foreigner traveling in Mexico, the only way of demonstrating this financial responsibility is to have sufficient real currency to cover damages, or an insurance policy from a Mexican company. U.S. or any other non-Mexican insurance does n...
