Once, dense schools of hammerheads and giant manta rays made the Sea of Cortés a diving mecca, and tourism flourished. But in the 1990s shark fishery permits were issued indiscriminately, and multinational fleets “strip mined” populations. This triggered a cascade of collapse among several species, and tourism plummeted. But today, scientists and fishermen work together to heal and protect this priceless marine ecosystem. —MJS
