Interesting clip... the last part says it all:
Back in Santa Rosalillita, locals say the jobs and income promised by the marina could have been good for the town. Even though it’s not likely to
ever be operational, the marina project did bring electricity and a paved road. And a few surfing tourists: the marina’s break wall created a nice new
wave.

Now, local fishermen are brainstorming ideas for what to do with this sandy corral.
"Some kind of farm," mused Javier Maclish, a local fisherman. "It would be really special if we could do that kind of work there. For example, an
abalone or fish farm. Why not? I think we have a very interesting place to do it.
Transform a failed marina into fish farm? Indeed, why not? Baja's isolated residents are used to making something out of what appears to be to others
to be a waste.
