Save the Colorada- This is what I saw posted today on Facebook. Apparently they are trying to put a cruise ship terminal near beach in Puerto Escondido. This saddens me so much. I understand how they want to improve the economy for the locals but from what I have seen cruise ships destroy so much. They make the prices so high that everyone has a hard time. The locals become hugely depended on the tourist and when that happens it's a bad thing. If the cruise ships don't show up due to weather or some other reason (last year there were issues related drug cartels and tourist safety) then what happens to the people. This was a big problem for Zihuatengo. When the US economy melted down and they were not cruising the people really felt it. We know at we visited and we were really disappointed with some experiences and it was explained to us it's because the cruiseships have such a huge impact.
Playa del Carmen is a good example, at one time it was just a tiny place now apparently it is completely different.
Obviously people want to enjoy the area as it's beautiful...but you don't need 1600 people going there on a regular basis, which is what happens when a cruiseship comes in. Not to mention all the oil and toxins and garbage that comes with all those tourist.
Please say no to cruiseship development in this area.
Sign the petition and SHARE-make sure people are talking about it as it's the first I have heard. My Spanish is not the best but with Bing translator I figured it out. Please use your voice and do what you can.
I believe people need to get back in touch with their roots, connect to the land, build cob house, raised bed gardens, pop bottle green house, grow their own vegetable, fruit and chickens and fish from the ocean. Stop buying so many material possessions. Where they live
IS PARADISE. Let people come and visit but not on a cruiseship.
This is my vision board, lots of good ideas here for a simpler life...off the grid...
Translated with Bing
We agree that already finished this road which will shorten the time to handle Oaxaca hither, we don't know how many trees and wildlife cost but already, now that they finish it.
We agree that reach Puerto Escondido INTERJET, this is wonderful news, it's very good service, we strongly recommend it.
BUT:
We cannot agree with a dock in Puerto Escondido, inter alia for two important reasons:
1.-It is a place made by the nature of big waves and strong currents.
2. The concept of Puerto Escondido tourism mind speaking it is rustic, cosmopolitan, and people coming like that, we can do a survey with the thousands of people who know port and we will know that this is what you think, and therefore come. There must be a variety of colors, shapes and flavors on our beaches of Mexico and not only 5 star hotels and luxury cruises.
We agree that Punta Colorada is named as ecological reserve which could be the only remaining within the city of Puerto Escondido and therefore, we must protect it, seek another option for that dock.
Of course we agree with economic growth of Puerto Escondido, but it should be way more intelligent, harmonious, cultural, educational, ecological, sportsman and sustainable.
For the children of Puerto Escondido and the future of Mexico.
Estamos de acuerdo en que terminen ya esa carretera que va acortar el
tiempo de manejar de Oaxaca hacia acá, no sabemos cuantos árboles y
fauna costo pero ya es
tá, ahora que la terminen.
Estamos de acuerdo en que llegue a Puerto Escondido INTERJET, es una
noticia maravillosa, es muy buen servicio, lo recomendamos.
PERO:
NO estamos de acuerdo con un muelle en Puerto Escondido, entre otras cosas por dos importantes razones:
1 .- Es un lugar hecho por la naturaleza de OLAS GRANDES y corrientes fuertes.
2 .- El concepto de Puerto Escondido turÃstica mente hablando es
rústico, cosmopolita y a la gente que viene le gusta por eso, podemos
hacer una encuesta con las miles de personas que conocen Puerto y
sabremos que esto es lo que opinan, y por eso vienen. Debe de haber
variedad de colores, formas y sabores en nuestras playas de México y no
sólo Hoteles de 5 estrellas y cruceros de lujo.
Estamos de
acuerdo en que Punta Colorada sea nombrada como RESERVA ECOLÓGICA que
podrÃa ser la única que quede dentro de la Ciudad de Puerto Escondido y
por eso, debemos protegerla, se debe buscar otra opción para ésa
dársena.
Por supuesto que estamos de acuerdo con el crecimiento
económico de Puerto Escondido, pero se debe hacer de la manera más
inteligente, armónica, cultural, educativa, ecológica, deportista y
sostenible.
Por los niños de Puerto Escondido y el futuro de México.
