Seems to me the pangueros were better off before the jetty, when nature opened or closed the mouth of the estuary. When it comes to jettys, this
always happens. Put in a jetty, and the only happy ones are the surfers and the guy who owns the dredging machine. Both US coasts as well as Hawaii
have excellent examples of how not to build a jetty. Looks like the foks at Playita have added another example!
It will be very interesting to see what happens when a chubasco starts crawling up into the Cortez....oh man, the lefts!!!!

Hey you guys have not been paying attention. I am one of the biggest "no" marina person around. Unfortunately the local people are suffering and
will continue to suffer as they lose more and more of their land and their businesses. My concern with the jettys was for the people. I could care
less about the marina people. They have dug their hole and will have to lay in. However, the thought of that huge hole never being used is scary.
The mosquitoes are worse than they have ever been.
So we agree....jettys...not a good idea.

Of course you dislike them Judy
You are an intelligent, thinking human being and your statements reflect concerned and justifiable reasoning.
Jetty building defeats the natural course of things. Most important would be the constant cycle of near-shore transport of sands. The huge
disadvantage of being a desert in the sea. Now, with that said, I can think of many Jetties that serve a necessary functional job. Mainly, serving the
needs of boaters and other maritime users. The downside in more and more cases in Baja becomes evident immediately. Detruction of coastal marine
habitat(s). While these piles of rocks may become home and habitat for crustaceans. The chances of them flourishing are nil. The chances of bi-valves
indiginous to the area becomes zero.
Aside from the destruction of biomass is the destruction of a way of life and livelyhood for local peoples. While fat-cats build and develop coastal
stretches, the peones pack up and start anew life elsewhere. With luck maybe their children can mow coastal golf courses when they come of age.
The sad reality as most of us know is always the same. Pave paradise and put in a parking lot.
Lo siento

There is a huge hole with water in it that will be called a marina one day. Once it flushed to the sea, I hope that the mosquito problem will abate
but as of today it is a stagnant water mass...must be over 3 acres. Also there are holding tanks for water to keep the grass alive which they water
daily. As we all know grass is a wonderful breading ground for them. There is a reason, beside poverty, that Mexicans have dirt yards....they are
smart and know that mosquitoes dont hang around in the dirt, they like to hide in bushes, grass....standing water.

Judy, I know that wet grass causes a mosquito problem. That's why I have always been amazed, living right on the first tee in Nopolo, that the only
time we have a mosquito problem is right after a rain storm. I do know that you are right , but the grass on the course doesn't seem to breed any
critters.
