I have seen several articles about it on Facebook as well as BBC and Huff post. Kudos to Mexico for this designation in the Revillagigedos Archipelago!

i wonder how it affects the liveaboards? Probably not much except no more fresh fish tacos inside the boundaries...
It should be protected against fishermen, there's giant Tuna there as well as lots of sharks, Whalesharks and Mantas so finning was a concern. My buddy dove there with the hammerhaeads, they pretty much ignored him as they're indifferent to the few divers they see weekly - I like places like that.
google Socorros Islands, it's the same place.

Congrats to Mexico, hopefully they can actually enforce it against the likes of the aggressive Chinese fishing plague!
