The vaquita, a critically endangered marine mammal, inhabits the northern part of the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez, in Mexico. This small porpoise prefers shallow, murky waters near the coastline, particularly in areas with abundant fish and invertebrate prey. Its habitat is threatened by pollution, fishing nets, and habitat degradation, contributing to its declining population. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect the vaquita and its fragile ecosystem.

The vaquita lives in shallow, murky lagoons along the shoreline and is rarely seen in water much deeper than 30 meters; indeed, it can survive in lagoons so shallow that its back protrudes above the surface. The vaquita is most often sighted in water 11 to 50 metres deep, 11 to 25 kilometres from the coast, over silt and clay bottoms. Its habitat is characterised by turbid water with a high nutrient content. Other characteristics of its habitat are strong tidal mixing, convection processes and high primary and secondary productivity.
