Greenpeace activists chain themselves to heavy machinery at the illegal construction site of the "Puerto Los Cabos" coastal property development.
Damage to the surrounding wetlands from the construction of the planned 800 hectare marina and hotel complex are predicted to heavily impact on the local fishing industry as well as on the marine environment since the San Jose del Cabo wetland is the most important aquifer in the region. Greenpeace is calling on the Mexican government to immediately halt all illegal tourism development, and implement measures ensuring that all coastal property developments are planned and built in a sustainable fashion.
