4Ocean Vaquita Porpoise Braided Bracelet

Vaquita porpoises only live in the ocean known as the Gulf of California and are the most endangered cetacean - whales, dolphins, and porpoises are know as cetacea - in the ocean. They are nicknamed 'the panda of the sea' as they share the same dark marks around their eyes and mouth as pandas do.

Plastic gillnets are responsible for the deaths of nearly one in five vaquitas, as they become entangled and are unable to escape. Vaquitas are bycatch from the Totoaba fish who share the same habitat - and who are also critically endangered - and unfortunately, illegally hunted for their swim bladders, which can sell for $4,000 a pound. Researchers believe it's possible vaquitas will go extinct in our lifetime, as there are as few as 10 of these porpoises left - so it's essential we act now to save them.
