It could be done with the permission of the Mexican government. The USCG helps the Bahamas patrol for drug runners. The rest of the military does joint training operations all over the world. This is nothing new.

Actually current research shows that isolated small populations are already genetically similar and they have eliminated bad genes. Without the nets they might recover.

If there were offers of support and more pressure to save the vaquita then other nations could help patrol for poachers, eliminate the illegal trade and help remove nets.

Not rocket science.
