Upper Gulf of California and Colorado River Delta Biosphere Reserve – Authorities at three levels of government, the scientific community, national as well as international conservation organizations, including WWF, and fishermen of the local communities have joined forces to save the vaquita. Working together by the name of "Alto Golfo Sustentable" (AGS). Most notable among the initiatives is a effort brought forth by the fishermen of the Gulf of Santa Clara, Sonora, and San Felipe, Baja California to retire fishing nets that measure six inches or more. The fishermen realized the elimination of the nets is inevitable due to regulations and that it is preferable to voluntarily withdraw from such a practice - in exchange for payment - rather than lose the opportunity to fish, lose their source of income and have to secure a new job.
