The proposed 1,500+ acres Baja Bay Club tourist development, which would feature a golf course, 442 villas, and 275 hotel rooms on an oceanfront site less than a mile from Cabo Pulmo National Park, is facing strong opposition from environmental organizations. Groups like “Cabo Pulmo Vivo” and the Mexican Center of Environmental Rights (CEMDA) argue that the resort could have devastating effects on the nearby reefs and marine life.
They express concerns about the potential dumping of salt and chemicals from desalination processes back into the ocean, which could harm local marine ecosystems. Additionally, there are worries about pollution from inadequate sewage treatment if the resort does not build a proper plant or fails to operate it effectively.
These environmentalists are calling for more sustainable development practices to ensure that Cabo Pulmo’s rich marine biodiversity is protected. As the debate continues, it’s clear that the future of this proposed development will be closely watched. Stay tuned for updates!
