Its a Noble cause .
Developers are a nightmare that rips our coast line to shreds .
Condo light confuse the freshly hatched turtles .
The beach turtles have to first survive the eggs attacked by raccoons and invasive coyotes from the midwest .

Yes. Santa Cruz doesn’t seem to want to build a ‘resort’ or ‘condos’. He seems to want to work with the needs of the natural environment. He claims to have increased turtle hatchings by 200% over the past 20 years in Xala.

They won’t “develop the coastline in a way that doesn’t make the locals hate them” unless they allow public access to the ocean. The first thing all these developers do is put up a big wall to keep anyone out except the owners.

Under Mexican law, the beaches are public property, and developers are required to provide public beach access every 1/2 kilometer. Of course none do this, and they pay off the state and federal regulators to look the other way.

This is another classic example of the rich building themselves an isolated enclave and making themselves out as heroes in the process. Complete BS.

I think I’ll wait and see what he does, before I believe that it’s ‘BS’.

Change the turtle egg status as a delicacy in Latin America and there will be plenty of turtles. After the females lay their eggs the local go out en masse and dig them up to cook them.
