Santa Cruz leads the way in refurbishing the neighborhood

Santa Cruz de los Zacatitos is known for its surfing, diving, and varied architecture. Like its predecessor Los Zacatitos, it has suffered weathered roads and neighborhood markers.

Ecological concerns - Sea of Cortez

Regularly we feature articles of interest on ecology, recycling, and ocean / land environment, especially as it relates to our coastal communities on the East Cape. We live at the intersection of ocean and land and our enjoyment comes from both.

Susan Beard (Sube), whose photographs are also in the 'Environs' section of this site suggests adding the following web site for our informational interest: www.seawatch.org

"As many of you may know, Vista Gold mining company is seeking permission to develop a massive open pit gold mine at Paredones Amarillos in the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve above Todos Santos. This project will directly challenge our community. We are being asked to risk the regional aquifers, the turtle sanctuaries, the whale coastal feeding areas and our oasis. Please help protect Todos Santos and the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve. (For more information see: VistaGoldNo.com and ParedonesAmarillosNo.com)

Paradones Amarillo mining company just filed for the change of zoning for the development of an open pit gold mine. Different government agencies are in the process of making a decision NOW. We need everyone to send letters to the federal and state agencies looking at this issue to express opposition to the project. Please help and get as many others to participate in this letter writing campaign.
