A Mexican fisherman died after his cutter collided with a Sea Shepherd environmental organization. On December 31, the fisherman was admitted to a hospital in the northwestern city of Mexicali with serious injuries,
including broken pelvis, said the head of the regional health authority, Alonso Pérez. The condition of a second fisherman who was injured in the collision was stable.
According to the Mexican Navy, Sea Shepherd activists had been collecting floating fishing nets in the Gulf of California when they were "attacked by fishermen with homemade explosives."
The Sea Shepherd organization said the fishermen had thrown Molotov cocktails on their boats "Farley Mowat" and "Sharpie".
The "Farley Mowat", a former US coastal defense ship, then tried to leave the area, but a fishing cutter "aggressively" got in the way of the boat and hit the hull of the "Farley Mowat" broken apart.
