Pulling in a catch of fish north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Several men finish pulling in a net full of fish onto the beach. Several pelicans flock around the catch. The nets lie piled up on the beach. 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.
