Here is the link to the article in Spanish:

And here is a very sloppy translation:

Luis Guadarrama Carrillo, subdirector of administration of the National Commission of the Water in the state confirmed that the lagoons of oxidation of Black Warrior are full to it collides and it is pouring the dirty water that takes the drainage of the community directly to the lagoon of the area salinera.

The gray whales don't still arrive by sight of Hare, not of massive form, but the contamination that she/he receives for 15 days it could affect the cetaceans in more or smaller measure.

"It is a complicated problem, there what is needed is a work that should have carried out the system of drinkable water of Mulegé, but they didn't apply the resources, now they will have to solve in the plant of treatment of Black Warrior", the official commented.

It seemed that the problem is being minimized, and according to what the own authorities inform, the spill of black waters that can constitute a crime in which accept, the PROFEPA can intervene and to apply millionaire tickets to the city council, you could avoid with an investment of 200 thousand pesos that the city council of Mulegé, didn't carry out.

bajajudy Thanks for posting the article. Whoooo - sad news and leaves me with a "what the heck can I do about this?" feeling of helplessness. Question for Nomad land - is there something an individual can do to help this particular situation? I'm (geez, do I need to add this - probably, yes) looking for positive comments or suggestions.

I put the article through google translate - here is the google translate version:
