-

The piece of news mention that the arrival of the new head of the Naval Region, seeks to reinforce operations to reduce the crime of poaching and trafficking of prohibited substances

Sinaloa and Nayarit as of this date are part of the Eighth Naval Region, this as a result of the modifications of regions that have occurred at the federal level, an act that entails the breadth of the areas of responsibilities, reported Admiral Javier Abarca Martínez, during his formal visit with the mayor of Mazatlán.

The Admiral pointed out that the amendment to follow is the implementation of operations with maritime personnel to eradicate the illegal activities of poaching that is carried out in the closed seasons, detect the transfer of prohibited substances via the sea in various vessels, a crime that is not very common but they do not intend to neglect either, by land collaborating with the three levels of government with personnel assigned to the National Guard.

Among the actions to be implemented will be the review of tourism service providers, starting with the rental of tours along the coast, Abarca Martínez emphasized at this point that those who are not in optimal conditions will be suspended or otherwise sanctioned, this activity to start on Saturday.

Although the presence of Admiral Abarca Martínez in the Eighth Naval Region is premature, he said that there are some indications of poaching in Topolobampo, he added that they are analyzing the situation to sanction in accordance with the provisions of the law.



Personal Opinion

These actions around the reduction of the crime of poaching and trafficking of prohibited substances will be beneficial for the increase of confidence in security not only for Mexicans, but also for foreigners, which could lead to the attraction of tourism, of foreign investors to the area and other benefits.

According to José Réyez (2021), maritime drug trafficking has become the most common way used by Latin American criminal groups to traffic cocaine internationally, since between 70 and 80 percent of the drug consumed throughout the world is transferred by sea, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

The data regarding crime by sea is alarming, so I believe that it will be beneficial to improve these statistics and be able to promote trade and tourism at a national and international level.

Will Baja California ever build a desalination plant?

In 2016, state officials finalized a plan only to shelve it four years later, citing its high cost. The energy-intensive technology works by removing impurities from seawater. Roberto Salmón also helped to oversee U.S.-Mexico treaties on borders and rivers as Mexico’s representative to the International Boundary and Water Commission between 2009 and 2020. He said a desalination plant would help Tijuana considerably. “But discussions had been going on ever since I came into the commission,” Salmón said, “and there is no plant yet.” A single aqueduct that crosses the state, including a rugged 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) mountain pass, brings Colorado River water into Tijuana. “It’s a one-source city,” Salmón said. Officials and companies have similarly talked about using treated recycled wastewater to boost the city’s wat...
