Net full of fish north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Two men rinse a net full of silver fish. A small fishing boat sits on the beach a few feet inland from the waves. Puerto Vallarta is a port town on Mexico's west coast. It is a popular port of call for cruise ships and has developed a vibrant tourism industry. The town is celebrated for its constant tropical weather as well as its beaches and adjoining islands. Recently, pollution from inadequate city sewage capabilities has caused health problems with its coastal waters, leading to a downturn in tourism.
