520    In 2006, vaquita, a diminutive porpoise making its home in
       the Upper Gulf of California, inherited the dubious title 
       of world's most endangered marine mammal. Nicknamed "panda
       of the sea" for their small size and beguiling facial 
       markings, vaquitas have been in decline for decades, dying
       by the hundreds in gillnets intended for commercially 
       valuable fish, as well as for an endangered fish called 
       totoaba. When international crime cartels discovered a 
       lucrative trade in the swim bladders of totoaba, illegal 
       gillnetting went rampant, and now the lives of the few 
       remaining vaquitas hang in the balance. Author Brooke 
       Bessesen takes us on a journey to Mexico's Upper Gulf 
       region to uncover the story. She interviewed townspeople, 
       fishermen, scientists, and activists, teasing apart a 
       complex story filled with villains and heroes, a story 
       whose outcome is unclear. When diplomatic and political 
       efforts to save the little porpoise failed, Bessesen 
       followed a team of veterinary experts in a binational 
       effort to capture the last remaining vaquitas and breed 
       them in captivity-the best hope for their survival. In 
       this fast-paced, soul-searing tale, she learned that there
       are no easy answers when extinction is profitable. Whether
       the rescue attempt succeeds or fails, the world must ask 
       itself hard questions. When vaquita and the totoaba are 
       gone, the black market will turn to the next vulnerable 
       species. What will we do then?
