Environmentalists in Mexico City are rallying against a gas export project in the Gulf of California, warning it could endanger whales and disrupt the region’s fragile marine ecosystem. The project, led by Saguaro Energia, involves deep-sea vessels that would navigate through whale breeding grounds,
On January 29, 2025, environmentalists in Mexico City gathered to protest a gas project in the Gulf of California, warning it could harm whale populations. The project, led by Saguaro Energia, plans to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Sonora to Asia using large deep-sea vessels. Protesters argued that these vessels, some 300 meters long, pose a serious risk of collisions with whales, which is the leading cause of death for the species.
Pablo Montano, coordinator at Conexiones Climáticas, emphasized the project's environmental consequences, stating it could produce emissions equivalent to those of Portugal and Sweden combined. The Gulf of California, home to endangered whale species such as humpback, gray, and blue whales, is a vital habitat for breeding and reproduction. Greenpeace condemned the project, claiming it serves U.S. fossil fuel interests rather than protecting the region’s biodiversity. Protesters are calling for an alternative approach that prioritizes marine life and ecosystems.
