Mexico's overpopulation hurts marine life

Mexico's sputtering economy generates jobs for just one third of its youth entering the work force. With more than half of Mexico's population younger than 28, this is a major problem.

The Gulf of California's marine life and aquaculture are not disappearing simply due to overfishing; the culprit is Mexico's exploding population. Jobs in Mexico are scarce.

Until Mexican politicians and the country's "grandees" get off their backsides, and acknowledge the root of the problem, marine life in the Gulf of California will continue to be overfished until it is exhausted.
