Take Action: Support Biodiversity in the Gulf of California
U.S. energy company Mexico Pacific has proposed a 15 million ton per year liquified natural gas (LNG) export facility in Sonora, Mexico, along the Gulf of California. The proposed route runs through a UNESCO World Heritage Site that supports extraordinary marine biodiversity, including blue whales, vaquita porpoises, whale sharks, sea lions, giant squid, and sea turtles. The project would harm these species through increased vessel traffic, elevated underwater noise pollution, and higher risk of ship strikes, all passing directly through critical habitat.
