Loreto Rises Up: Citizens Protest Deep-Sea Port Decree, Fearing Environmental Threat
Citizens, environmentalists, and local officials in Loreto, Baja California Sur, are fiercely protesting a federal decree designating their port for deep-sea and cabotage use. Demonstrators surrounded a council meeting, chanting slogans like "Loreto is not for sale" and "No to mega-cruises," fearing the move threatens a vital marine ecosystem. They demand the immediate repeal of the decree, which allows international vessels and large cargo ships to dock.
