In Puerto Rico, José Morales Berríos, also known as Gongo Fishing, called for unity among those who capture caimans, snakes, and invasive species. Morales Berríos, a content creator, urged them to share knowledge, guide each other, and avoid negative comments and rivalry. He said that capturing these reptiles is not a competition and that they should work together.
The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DRNA) Secretary, Waldemar Quiles Pérez, recently confirmed that a permit was issued to a US-based company to manage invasive species, including pythons and caimans, in Puerto Rico. The project, however, still depends on the company securing financing. Gongo Fishing is known for his posts on capturing reptiles and exotic species, and his activity takes place in a context where authorities and wildlife managers have expressed concern about the presence of invasive species.
