The Bienpesca program has seen recent activity across different Mexican states. In Sinaloa, the Secretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture announced the distribution of economic support for the 2026 cycle. This joint state and federal initiative involves an investment of 126,244,000 pesos to benefit over 31,000 fishers and aquaculturists, providing 4,000 pesos per recipient for essential supplies like gear and fuel.

In Tamaulipas, authorities have issued warnings regarding fraudulent activities linked to the program. Unauthorized third parties are reportedly attempting to steal personal information, such as the CURP, by promising to expedite registrations or guarantee program participation. Officials have advised fishermen to avoid intermediaries and deal directly with the National Commission of Aquaculture and Fisheries.
