There is still no clear groundbreaking date for the Punta Colonet Mega Port project. The subject of developing such a project on the western Baja peninsula is broad and one that has and will continue to draw the opinions of industrial, ecological, social and political concerns throughout Mexico and the United States. Baja California remains for the most part a wide-open venue and as such subject to the benefits and pit-falls that come with that distinction. Baja California is home to Tijuana on the Mexican side and San Diego on the U.S. side of the busiest border in the world and a significant maquiladora industry.
Tijuana is said to be the largest manufacture of televisions in the world and contrasts Baja California Sur’s most southern cities of Los Cabos and Cabo San Lucas; one of Mexico’s tourism jewels and gateway to the Sea of Cortez, the body of water that separates the Baja California Peninsula from the Mexican mainland. Bordered by the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, and Sinaloa, the name "Gulf of California" predominates on most maps today. The narrow sea is home to a unique and rich ecosystem. In addition to a wide range of endemic creatures, it hosts many migratory species. In between, Baja California is also home to the largest solar Sea Salt operation in the world and a burgeoning wine industry.
This blog will serve to explore and bring to light the many facets of the Punta Colonet Mega Port and will be in concert with sister blogs, to be named very soon. These will include blogs on Mexico’s Eco-Tourism, The Sea of Cortez, Mexico and so forth. I will be contacting various sources for information as it relates to the broad range of industries including, commercial development, tourism, logistics, NAFTA, security, shipping, state agencies, chambers of commerce etc. I welcome all input and points of view in an effort to better understand the potential impact of such a development.
