What now in the World's Aquarium?

Heading east | Home | Hello - swoosh - goodbye

7 December 2006

by Irene, onboard the Esperanza

We have started the process of suing the Los Cabos project. Jorge Buch, director of the project, has publicly announced that their constructions are perfectly legal, that they have all the permits required and that they even have the support of green NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations). The one NGO mentioned by name is Pronatura, where Sanchez Navarro, the owner of Questro Group also happens to be a board member. Funny that.

This morning there was a scent of land was in the air - trees! Haven't seen anything but sea and cacti during the last few weeks.

We are now anchored in Puerto Vallarta, almost on the beach. During the weekend we will hold the ship open to visitors. Soon after that the Esperanza will leave Mexico, and I will stay on land.

This tour is just the beginning of a lasting campaign on coastal development. Our Mexican office will continue to keep a close eye on the more than 20 tourist development projects in Gulf of California.

We are happy that the Espíritu Santo was made a marine reserve, but we will continue to push for the establishment of more marine reserves in order to protect the unique marine life of the World's Aquarium.

Hey. Why will you stay on land?
No more bloging from you then?

Sad...

Thanks Linda, I can't stay on the ship forever, and Helena will keep up the blogging. But I hope to be back some day!

Well I guess you can't stay on for ever, and I bet your family and friends miss you.

I wish you a happy christmas, and a joyful life.
