"Mexican Fisherman 'Dies After Attack On Sea Shepherd Conservationists'" [1]

"A Mexican fisherman has died after his boat collided with a larger vessel used by US conservationist group Sea Shepherd, reports say.

Sea Shepherd said the clash happened after fishing boats attacked one of its vessels in the Gulf of California, where it is working to protect the endangered vaquita porpoise.

It said its vessel was trying to leave when one of the boats smashed into it.

The man's family allege that his boat was intentionally rammed."
