Podcasts about vaquitas

Charles and Jon talk to Dr Barbara Taylor (USA) and Dr Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho (Mexico), who together lead the global efforts to save the Vaquita from extinction. The Vaquita, a tiny and beautiful porpoise, is found only at the top of the Gulf of California and holds the unfortunate distinction of being the world's rarest marine mammal (possibly the rarest of any mammal species). There may be as few as 6 animals left alive.The story of the Vaquita's precipitous decline from its discovery in 1958 is as tragic as it is complex. In a fascinating conversation we learn about the Vaquita's biology and how gillnetting has driven the species to the very edge of extinction. We also discuss why illegal fishing - fueled by organized crime and a demand in East Asia for the swim bladder of the Totoaba fish - is so difficult to prevent. But Barb and Lorenzo offer some optimism for the future: there may be more Vaquitas hiding in the Gulf of California and it is not to late to save the species.For more information visit www.mammalwatching.com/podcastNotes: There is a lot more information online. Viva Vaquita is a coalition of scientists, educators and conservationists who strive to increase attention on the Vaquita. They host an International Vaquita Day every year to update folks on the latest situation.There are several documentaries about the Vaquita story including Sea of Shadows which you can find here https://www.vaquitacpr.org The IUCN's Cetacean Specialist Group website has all recent Vaquita survey reports (with 2024 coming soon) as well as reports from the recovery team (CIRVA).If you would like to help save the Vaquita you can donate money to - or volunteer to join - Sea Shepherd the conservation society who are doing very important work in the Gulf of Mexico to help tackle the illegal fishing that is killing the species.If you want to check whether the seafood you eat is sustainable then you can visit Seafood Watch even if they do not as yet carry information about the fisheries that most impact the Vaquita.Jon's report on joining the 2024 Vaquita Survey with Barb and Lorenzo is here.Finally here is the Guardian article on the 6 million antelope migration in South Sudan that Charles mentions at the start.Cover art: Barb, Lorenzo and a model Vaquita with Consag Rock in the background.Dr Charles Foley is a mammalwatcher and biologist who, together with his wife Lara, spent 30 years studying elephants in Tanzania. They now run the Tanzania Conservation Research Program at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.Jon Hall set up mammalwatching.com in 2005. Genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City. He has looked for mammals in over 110 countries.

En su editorial, Gustavo Campana se refirió al precio que tendrá la carne durante el gobierno de Javier Milei  y señaló que "el kilo estará entre 15 mil y 25 mil pesos". "Vuelve el país del siglo XIX", afirmó. En ese marco, hizo un repaso de lo ocurrido durante estos últimos años y recordó cómo "los medios de comunicación romantizaron la pobreza en tiempos de Mauricio Macri" con notas referidas a la alimentación de los argentinos. "Las vaquitas son, fueron y serán ajenas; pero los sueños son nuestros", finalizó.   Pase lo que pase, lunes a viernes de 7.00 a 10.00 Con Darío Villarruel, Florencia Ibáñez, Santiago Paz, Gustavo Campana, Mariana Gil Laborde, Fernando Pedernera y Andrea Baldivieso

Summary: Vaquita behavior is another fascinating thing about this unknown animal! Join Kiersten as she gives you a glimpse into the behavior of vaquita marina.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/onlinelearningcenter/species/vaquita https://porpoise.org/save-the-vaquita/ Vaquita: Science, Politics, and Crime in the Sea of Cortez by Brooke Bessesen Vaquita Conservation Organizations Porpoise.org   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.    This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it.   This episode continues the vaquita and the third thing I like about the vaquita is their behavior!   As we have already established in the first episode, vaquita's are marine mammals, specifically, cetaceans. That means they live their entire lives in the water. The vaquita is a porpoise that lives in warmer waters than other cetaceans, but they are still sea dwelling animals. Being mammals, they do breath air and, just like many other cetaceans, they have a hole on the top of their head that allows them to release carbon dioxide when they surface and breath in fresh oxygen. This hole is called a blowhole and it's a lot like our nose. They are able to open and close it with muscles, so they can hold their breath under water and keep the water from flooding in when they dive down. Okay! We have to use our fingers to do that with our noses, but still both orifices that we breath through!   Because of this physical need they must come to the surface, but they are extremely shy, secretive animals. Unlike their dolphin cousins, you will not see vaquitas leaping out of the water performing gravity defying acrobatics or frolicking in the wake of passing ships. They are very subdued when they visit the surface and rise slowly with a forward-rolling motion that hardly disturbs the water as they take a breath and then quickly disappear back into the depths of the Sea of Cortez.    These small marine mammals are incredibly sensitive to passing ships and will not surface if they sense one. It is extremely difficult to observe them in the wild because they can be disturbed by boats passing within a mile of their location. This makes it incredibly difficult to study them, and this created another unforeseen challenge for conservationists. Many people do not believe vaquita even exist.    For residents of the region surrounding the Sea of Cortez, the myth of the vaquita has been around for decades. Many residents do not believe they are real, living, breathing animals. They are like a unicorn or the Loch Ness monster, just something you talk about but never see because they're not actually real. (Before anyone gets too upset, I'm not saying unicorns or the Loch Ness monster aren't real, just that we have no tangible evidence to prove their existence….yet.  That's a whole other podcast! On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence proving the vaquitas existence!)    The main problem for conservationists is how do you encourage people to save an animal if they think it's a mythological creature. When dead vaquita began to wash up on shore with more frequency, as sad as that is, devastatingly sad, conservationists thought this would prove their existence but some still believe they are a myth and these are photoshopped pictures or man-made dummies. Most fisherman know that they are real as thy have seen them or seen evidence of them, but they often deny it because it's better for them if the vaquita remains a myth. Take my word for it listeners, vaquita are real! I promise you!   Vaquita are often solitary or travel in pairs, which is another reason they are not easily seen, but a few groups up to 8 individuals have been found. It is more likely when a couple is seen together, it's a mother and a calf.    Now, little is actually known about vaquitas reproduction, but researchers believe it is similar to harbor porpoises, which is their closest relative. Based on this, we are comfortable making a few assumptions about vaquita reproduction.  Vaquitas probably reach sexual maturity between 3 to 6 years. They can live uo to 20 years. The gestation period is 10-11 months and vaquita will give live birth to one calf every other year. The calves will be about 2 1/2 feet long at birth and can weigh 17 pounds. They will most likely nurse for about 6 to 8 months. All of this combined means that vaquita are very slow at reproducing.   When they are ready to eat sold food, they'll become hunters like their mothers. Just like other species of porpoises, vaquitas echolocate to find food. How exactly does this work? Excellent question listeners?    As Brooke Bessesen, I apologize if I'm saying that incorrectly, describes in her book Vaquita: Science, Politics , and Crime in the Sea of Cortez, “Porpoises make high-frequency clicks that bounce off objects and echo back, giving them an auditory “image” of scenes and objects. The fatty crown on the porpoise's head, called the melon, emits and focuses ticks like a sound lens, while incoming reverberations, received through the thin, lipid-covered bones of the lower jaw, are directed to the inner ear.” Using this method is how porpoises can hunt and find their food.    Through the research of Mexican acoustic expert Armando Jaramillo Legorreta we know that vaquita clicks are typically between 128 and 139 kilohertz. This is well above the ability of human hearing, which is 20 kilohertz max, but with specialized equipment their clicks can be recorded. According to Armando, vaquita make narrow band clicks.    In your mind you may be thinking about the noises dolphins make, the whistles and clicks we can hear. Those of you who have been to a dolphin experience or show or those of you who remember the television show Flipper, ( I have just revealed my age with thane!) know what I mean! They have a much wider range of acoustic ability than vaquita. Our small vaquita marina is not capable of dolphin-like chatter, but it doesn't make them any less adorable.   In some animals, such as dolphins, acoustic clicks are used for more than just hunting prey. They are also used for communication. We do not know whether this is something that vaquitas do as well, but we do know that their clicks increase in frequency when they are hunting. Vaquita will hunt at least 20 different marine species such as bronze-striped grunts, gulf croakers, small crabs, and squid. These are all mostly bottom dwelling species.    It makes total sense that vaquita rely on their echolocation skills to hunt because the Sea of Cortez is very turbulent, making the water murky. Vision is fairly useless in these waters. The terrain under the water is also filled with ridges and valleys that vaquita can learn by using their echolocation.   By slowing down the clicks and click trains recorded using fancy acoustic equipment, humans can hear the sonar of certain animals, such bats and blue whales. When Brooke Bessesen was researching her book she asked if any researchers had done that to the vaquita calls. Someone had tried, but they'd only done it one because when you slow down their click trains it sounds too much like a fart to take it seriously.     I'm glad you all joined me in this glimpse at the vaquita's behavior, it is my third favorite thing about them.   Please visit porpoise.org to find out even more about the vaquita and to discover what you can do to help this unique animals.   Join me next week for another ten-minute episode focusing on the vaquita.    (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Summary: The vaquita lives in the most biodiverse body of water on the planet! Join Kiersten as she take you on a journey through the Sea of Cortez.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes:  https://www.nmmf.org/marine-mammal/vaquita-porpoise/ https://www.britannica.com/place/Gulf-of-California https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1182 “Birth of an Ocean” by Annie Reisewitz: https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/birth-ocean https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/totoaba https://porpoise.org/save-the-vaquita/ https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/dolphin_porpoise.html Vaquita Conservation Organizations Porpoise.org   Transcript   (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife.

Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it.   This episode continues the vaquita and the second thing I like about the vaquita is their habitat!   Now, the vaquita is only found in one place on Earth and that is the Sea of Cortez also known as the Gulf of California. This gulf is surrounded by land with the northwestern Mexican states of Sonora, Sinaloa, and Nayarit on the eastern side of the water and the mountainous peninsula of Baja California on the west side. The bottom of the gulf opens into the Pacific Ocean. There are 244 islands in the Gulf of California. The unique geographical characteristics of this area make it a perfect region for isolated habitats that are ideal for hosting endemic species. Endemic species by definition are species that are evolutionarily native to a specific area. There is a total of 160,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of California.     The vaquita only lives in 2235 square kilometers of this area. That's smaller than the state of Rhode Island. Vaquitas favor the shallow lagoons about 25 kilometers or 16 miles off shore in the northern portion of the gulf. They prefer water only 10 to 28 meters or 33 to 92 feet deep where the water is warm. I have to admit I like warmer water too!   The vaquita is the only porpoise that chooses to live in warm water. This is probably why their adult size is so small and why their dorsal fin is large in comparison to their body. The large dorsal fin most likely helps dissipate heat. Please listen to the first episode of my vaquita series, if you have not yet done so, to find out more about the physical characteristics of the vaquita.   We don't know why they choose warmer waters when all other porpoises prefer cooler water,    but what we do know is what the waters of the Sea of Cortez are like and from this we can make an educated guess about why this particular area appeals to this small porpoise.   The Sea of Cortez is an area teeming with aquatic life. After thousands of years of run-off from the Colorado River, life-supporting nutrients have built up on the bottom of this body of water. Strong currents stir up these nutrients and many species of animals take advantage of that.   In this natural inlet, there are 23 priority sites for marine biodiversity, 42 priority sites for terrestrial biodiversity, and 62 priority sites for bird conservation. Dubbed as the “Aquarium of the World” by Jaques Cousteau, the Gulf of California is recognized as an area of global marine conservation significance. Five of the seven existing species of sea turtle are found in the Sea of Cortez. It is home to 891 different fish species, 90 of them are endemic. It also contains 40% of the world's total number of species of marine mammal. 40 sea lion colonies are spread throughout the area with an estimated population of over 30,000 individuals. And 1/3 of the world's marine cetacean species can be found here at some time throughout their lives. There is even a healthy coral reef community off the coast of the seaside town of Cabo Pulmo. It is considered the only coral reef at such a high latitude in the Pacific Ocean.    Another remarkable fact about the Sea of Cortez is that almost all major oceanographic processes occurring in Earth's oceans are present in this body of water. Oceanographic processes are defined on the USGS website as recurrent natural changes that are physical, biological, or chemical, actively affecting the the seas and oceans. In the Sea of Cortez sediment runoff from the land occurs depositing minerals into the water, this area is also still actively expanding essentially creating a new ocean, turbulent tides and currents mix up the sediments from both expansion and runoff.  Of course not all sediment from runoff is good but this area has been protected as an important natural refuge since 1995.    The sea floor below the gulf is actually made up of 2 types of crust, oceanic and continental. This combination creates a unique environment where marine mammals can thrive. The bay is an underwater marvel with 4,000 foot deep submarine canyons, enormous underwater mountains, and hydrothermal vents crawling with life. The hydrothermal vents were discovered about 50 years ago, and in 2008 biologists from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography documented marine animals previously never seen alive. All of this activity makes the Sea of Cortez the most biologically rich body of water on the planet. It's no wonder that this is where the vaquita calls home.   Being a porpoise, the vaqutia are toothed mammals. Their teeth are spade-shaped   and flat, so they kinda look like the head of a shovel. They are perfect teeth for eating fish, squid, and even crab or lobster. We've actually found 17 different species of fish in the stomach of one vaquita. They are not terribly picky about who they eat and what a perfect place to live with so many species of fish found in the Gulf of California!   Now, as many of you know, when something has this much biodiversity it attracts more than just animas in nature, it also attracts humans. Many of the animals that live in and around the water make for good eating for humans. This means fishing occurs in the area. If it was just a few humans fishing for their daily dinner this wouldn't be a problem. Even if it was the local town fishing to provide food for everyone that lived there, it wouldn't be a problem. But humans rarely take only what they need for themselves, sadly, we are often motivated by how much profit can be made from a natural resource. This has put the vaquita in danger. I will focus another episode on the conservation status of the vaquita, but I'd like to touch on one of the fish in the area that our overfishing of has impacted the vaquita population, as well as, the fish itself.   The totoaba fish are found in the same exact area of the gulf as the vaquita. This fish can be 200 pounds and reach a length of 6.5 feet. It's scientific name is Totoaba macdonaldi. It is considered a drum fish but it is the only fish classified in the Totoaba genus. What does that mean? There is no other fish like them on the planet.   The totoaba is endemic to the Gulf of California where it spawns each year in the Colorado River Delta. This fish is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act because it has been overfished for entirely too long. Large fish, such as the totoaba, typically take many years to reach sexual maturity. When we fish for them, we often want the largest specimens and those are the ones that are sexually mature, which removes the individuals that will create the next generation from the environment.     What is it that makes this fish so sought after? Their swim bladder. This is the organ in a fish that allows the fish to control its buoyancy. The totoaba's swim bladder is used in traditional Chinese medicine. They dry it out and use it in a soup called fish maw. This is a pretty big swim bladder, when dried it is about the size of a laptop computer. Why do the Chinese want it? It is believed to boost fertility.    How exactly is this impacting the vaquita. The adults of this species are not something the vaquita would eat because they are larger than the small porpoise. The problem comes with the fishing method. Most fisherman that commercially fish for totoaba want to catch as many as possible and; therefore, use gill nets. Gill nets are cast out and catch whatever they catch,  they are not a targeted fishing method. Vaquita get caught in the nest and cannot surface to get air and die. Because of overfishing of the totoaba, the vaquita are also incredibly endangered.   I hope you all enjoyed this trip to the Sea of Cortez because it is my second favorite thing about the vaquita.    Please visit porpoise.org to find out even more about the vaquita and the totoaba and discover what you can do to help these unique animals.   Join me next week for another ten-minute episode focusing on the vaquita.    (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

In Episode 13 of Zoology Ramblings, we introduce a new section called "conservation news" where Robi and I each talk about a recent positive conservation news story. We discuss our animals of the week: I decided to talk about the illusive, weird short-eared dog (thanks @wayne_wildlife for the suggestion) and Robi talks about the Little Black Tapir and whether this is in fact a new species or not. We then delve deeper into some wider conservation stories where I give a sad update about the status of Vaquitas and Robi talks about the newly discovered, yet already critically endangered Rice's Whale.

Escuchá el nuevo episodio del podcast de la revista crisis, un resumen de lo más importante de la semana. Hoy comenzamos nuestro resumen de la coyuntura con un análisis del debate sobre la carne: el Gobierno prohibió la exportación, para bajar los precios en el país. Y por supuesto, los grandes ganaderos llamaron a un lokaut en señal de protesta. Pero la pregunta es, ¿la medida es eficaz? Opina el periodista Matías Longoni. Y Juan Pablo Della Villa, integrante de la Unión de Trabajadores de la Tierra (UTT). En el segundo tiempo nos ocupamos de la nueva batalla judicial, a partir del intento oficialista por reformar, desde el Congreso, al Ministerio Público Fiscal. ¿Podrá el peronismo juntar los votos que le faltan? Con el análisis del especialista Alberto Binder. Y de la legisladora Myriam Bregman. En el tercer bloque, fuimos en búsqueda de algunas voces y realidades que anticiparon la imparabale ola de contagios que esta semana conmovió a la nación toda. Bienvenides al confinamiento estricto versión 2021. Con testimonio del médico cordobés Oscar Atienza y de la doctora pampeana Pilar Galende. Por último, una yapa de lujo: conversamos con el Pepe Mujica, ex Presidente del Uruguay, sobre la difícil escena contemporánea: ¿quién es el enemigo? La culpa no es del virus.

This week P-Mo and Mary Carreon deep dive about the near extinction of the vaquita porpoise and the year-over-year increase of wildfires out West. There are only 10 vaquita left in the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). Why does this matter? Also, California's wildfires are getting worse by the year. How does this effect you, even if you don't live anywhere near California?

A clash between fishermen and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) lead to one dead and one injured after the SSCS ship collided with the fishermen's panga boat and split it in two.  Reports of the incident differ on both sides. The fishermen alleged that the Sea Shepherd's ship targeted the panga with the intention of sinking it by collision. Sea Shepperd, and the Mexican Navy officials on board the ship, alledged that the fishermen were throwing homemade bombs, knives, hammers, and other objects at their ship to stop them from doing their work.  Sea Shepherd is working with the Mexican government to retrieve illegal gill nets in the Sea of Cortez to prevent the incidental catch of Vaquitas while fishermen target the totoaba fish.  Vaquitas are critically endangered marine mammals listed on the IUCN Red list and it is estimated that there are only 10 individuals left. The totoaba is also endangered as they have been targeted for their swim bladders in Asian countries as it is believed that it boosts fertility.  Links to articles: 1) https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/border-baja-california/story/2021-01-05/baja-fisherman-dies-vaquita-conservationists 2) https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/nation-world/story/2021-01-01/fishermen-attack-conservationists-in-mexico-2-injured Want To Talk Oceans?

Welcome to episode 4 of Zoology Ramblings, where we talk about the ancestor of domesticated cattle (the Aurochs), the virtually indestructible Tardigrade which could survive a nuclear holocaust, the very recent reintroduction of the Tasmanian Devil to Australian mainland for the first time in 3,000 years and the conservation efforts needed to save the critically endangered Vaquita. Hope you enjoy our latest ramble!!

Una noche, en un bar, empezaron a hablar de las vacas, de cómo la vaca significaba tantas cosas en Argentina. De esa charla nació un texto y la primera noche que lo leyeron no podían parar de reírse. Ahora llegan a Montevideo para presentar la obra “Que todas las vaquitas de argentina griten mu”. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mediospublicosu/message

Barbara Taylor expands on the gravity of the Vaquitas’ population dip. She discusses that the scientific data she and her team has received from tracking the density of Vaquita communication calls shows the situation is much more severe than they could have predicted.

Barbara Taylor explains that the reason for Vaquitas’ near extinction is because they share a habitat with the highly sought-after Totoaba, a fish in high demand for their swim bladders. The vaquita get caught in the nets cast to catch these fish and drown in large numbers. Series: "UCTV Prime" [Science] [Show ID: 31329]
