00:00I'm going to show you now an image that,
00:02the truth is that, at least for me in particular,
00:04it makes me angry because this man, look at what he's doing.
00:09This is a protected area for sea lions in Mar del Plata.
00:15He approaches with a motorcycle and not happy to pass once
00:20I'm going to scream at you, look.
00:21very, very close to this marine fauna that is in its place,
00:26that is his house, he approaches more than once and passes again,
00:32scaring the sea lions, generating stress situations,
00:37because they also get nervous because they feel that it is an attack,
00:40beyond that they are used to the boats that pass by there,
00:45but at a much greater distance and respecting their space.
00:49In this case, he approached just under 30 meters from the coast,
00:54in this way, in repeated opportunities, I don't know why.
01:00The truth is that it is a young man, 30 and a few years old,
01:04Rosarino, who had been living for some years in Mar del Plata,
01:09who actually had a license to be able to leave,
01:13I understand that from the Mar del Plata Nautical Club,
01:17a person who is identified,
01:20and well, we'll have to see what happens with that license,
01:23the warning is made by the authorities who understand the matter,
01:27and the man finally apologized, but the truth could have been realized
01:31before generating this situation for the wolves,
01:35who are there, as we said, and that is his house,
01:39not that of this good man.
01:41Juan Lorenzani is a member of the Argentine Fauna Foundation.
01:45Juan, good morning, I greet you from here, from A24.
01:49Well, what is known about this, and what effects can it generate
01:53to the wolves that are in your space, an activity,
01:57an action like the one we see there in the images?
02:01How are you? Good morning.
02:04Yes, that sector of the sea wolves in the South Collieres
02:08was designed and adapted especially so that the animals
02:13can have a place as far away as possible
02:17from the area where there is a movement of boats,
02:22workers, etc.
02:24So it is a place that is given protection,
02:28you can't do nautical activities in that sector,
02:32nor get close to the wolves.
02:35Undoubtedly, what you see here in these images
02:38is a person who, in brief,
02:42passes very close to the sea wolves,
02:46makes maneuvers, maneuvers like slipping in the water
02:50so that the specimens get up,
02:53and what he does with that is stress the same ones.
02:57If the animals leave that sector, they return to the machine.
03:01So what is about having the greatest care
03:04so that they remain in this place.
03:08This type of attitude, what it does is stress the specimens,
03:12which apart is a place where we enter to work among them,
03:16and when you work among the sea wolves,
03:19like to cut a furrow or do another task,
03:22what we need is just tranquility.
03:25Of course, let them be calm, let them work there
03:28so that they are better, but obviously,
03:31they are animals, a human enters,
03:34they are not necessarily going to be calm,
03:37and this does not help at all.
03:40This does not help at all,
03:43so the prefecture, it is very important to highlight
03:46that the prefecture was of the trade,
03:49and in a few hours it was able to give with this person,
03:54it was able to give with his boat,
03:57and a summary has been made, I understand,
04:04by inappropriate conduct,
04:07and it entails precisely this,
04:10to charge a fine of two million pesos,
04:13which is important, which I think is worth a before and after,
04:17after this occasion, after this fact,
04:22since on other occasions,
04:25other types of boats also approached in a timid way
04:28where the sea wolves were.
04:31And we already know that the distance is 200 meters,
04:35and you can't even do nautical sports in the area.
04:38Of course, you said it.
04:40Of course.
04:42It is evident, it is a double infraction if you want,
04:45because you can't do nautical sports in the area,
04:48and on the other hand, you got closer to more than 200 meters
04:51from the area, let's say, protected for them,
04:55with which it is twice the infraction.
04:58Yes, here the problem goes beyond,
05:01beyond the fact that it is very serious,
05:04with the stress that is caused to the animals,
05:07to the distance that the boat passed.
05:10Yes.
05:11In some places there is up to 50 centimeters of water.
05:14So if one of the three people,
05:17three people who were on that water motorcycle,
05:20had fallen, had hit,
05:22had hit his head against the bottom,
05:26let's say, it could have been another thing.
05:29Of course, of course, hurt themselves.
05:32Here, they could have hurt themselves.
05:35There is a rock area,
05:38that is, having destabilized the water motorcycle,
05:42a much worse accident could have occurred.
05:45In other words, they should have regretted it much more.
05:48So it is important to be careful
05:52when driving either a water motorcycle,
05:55which is no different from driving a car.
05:58You have to take the same precautions,
06:01because there are always thirds who can be in danger.
06:04So what we always ask for is maximum precaution
06:07when at least they are approaching the area of the sea lions.
06:10Good, Juan.
06:12Or, for example, whales,
06:14it is common that there are more and more whales.
06:16Also.
06:17Always respect the distance.
06:18Sure, perfect.
06:19Sure.
