flag Texas deploys new boat to stop illegal fishing by Mexican vessels near South Padre Island, reducing response time and protecting marine life.

flag Texas Game Wardens have deployed a new boat to combat illegal fishing off South Padre Island, where Mexican vessels have been entering U.S. waters to deploy unlicensed gill nets and longlines, endangering sea turtles and other marine life. flag The vessel enables wardens to reach fishing gear up to 45 miles offshore in 90 minutes—cutting response time from three hours—helping recover about 15 miles of illegal equipment in 2025. flag Officials say the improved capability strengthens enforcement and protects marine ecosystems.
