Reloading a net north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Two men stand in a boat on a beach collecting a net. The boat is a few feet from the waves rolling in to the beach. The men are collecting a net into a boat that they will then row out into deeper water and cast. After a short time, several people will pull the net in and extract the fish.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.
