Monitoring Marine Protected Areas in Baja

Monitoring is an important part of marine protected areas. Data is collected before the protected area is established and periodically after that. It is then compared to non-protected areas. With Dr. Alfredo Giron, the video was taken in the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California. Dr. Alfredo Giron is a scientist who leads trips aboard Quino el Guardian Liveaboard. Quino is part of the Mexico Liveaboards fleet taking divers to the magical destinations of the Sea of Cortez and Socorro.
