charles bowden on the sea of cortés

 

the article he wrote in 1995 is here;

“Last January in the Sea of Cortes more than 200 porpoises, eight whales and over 70 sea lions suddenly died … [The captain] started talking about … how the sea was suddenly flooded with plastic packages. But he said no one could pick up the packages because if they did, the Mexican federal police would seize the kilos.”

 

Charles Bowden, 1945 – 2014
