Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
Now to the fate of the Vaquita - a type of porpoise that is perilously close to extinction.
It swims off the coast of Baja California in the Sea of Cortez and the Vaquita population has dipped below 100.
Last spring Take Two talked about the threat facing the "little cow" -- that's its name translated into English - but there are some new conservation efforts on the horizon.
Catalina Lopez is a scholar in residence at UC Riverside researching bio-diversity and she works as a liaison between fisherman and scientists. She joins Take Two for more on the porpoise.
