Defiende el Mar The Problem The Solution Sea of Cortez California

El Hijo del Santo vs. Los Enemigos del Mar

After being made aware of the many dangers that threat our oceans in the face of overfishing, pollution and the extinction of marine species, Legendary Mexican wrestler “El Hijo del Santo”, decided to put his fame and power of speech at the service of our precious marine resources.
