Protection that began in the mid-20th century in the United States was solidified with the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 in the United States and similar laws in Mexico. These protective measures provided the impetus for recovery of the population. Tourism at coastal sites and most offshore islands is highly regulated and controlled.
