Espinosa is a member of the Yaqu Pacha Study Center on Marine Ecosystems.
Jose Luis Brito, curator of the Natural History Museum in San Antonio, the country’s main maritime terminal, said he receives frequent reports of dolphins stranded on beaches, sometimes entangled in nets and sometimes littered with plastic or other garbage. After consuming it dies of pollution.
