In this Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 photo, yachts are docked at a marina in the Bay of Acapulco, Mexico. After inspecting more than 1,600 vessels in late November, the Mexican government’s Treasury Department announced it had initiated seizure orders against hundreds of foreign boats it accused of lacking a temporary import permit which proves that the holders own their boats and promise not to leave them in Mexico or sell them here. Many boat owners say they simply weren’t around when authorities came by and slapped liens on the boats barring them from leaving Mexico, and say officials have not told them how they could remedy the situation. Foreign pleasure boat owners call this a heavy-handed crackdown over a minor permit, and they say it threatens a tourism sector Mexico has long sought to promote. (AP Photo/Bernandino Hernandez)
