The Government of Baja California stated that one and a half million pesos would be invested on the route to El Zanjón, in the Upper Gulf of California, to encourage the sustainable use of the corvina golfina (Cynoscion othpnopterus) to continue helping the Cucapá community.

Alma Rosa Garcia Juárez, the head of the Secretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SEPESCA), stated that this activity is being carried out in collaboration with Arturo Espinoza Jaramillo's Secretariat of Infrastructure, Urban Development, and Territorial Reorganization (SIDURT).

He noted that the road is a kilometer and a half long and would assist three cooperatives of Cucapá ethnic group members who live in "El Indiviso," a neighborhood in the Bajo Ro region.

El Zanjón is a fishing camp with roughly 109 boats and 327 fishermen, resulting in a direct benefit of more than 650 employment.

According to SEPESCA data, over 90% of corvina production in Baja California has been focused in the Bajo Ro region during the previous five years.

It's worth noting that croaker fishing is an ancestral occupation of the Cucapá indigenous people, on which dozens of families in this Mexicali region rely.
