BOLA ecological reserve
Interesting article in the San Diego paper.... Fermin Smith has drawn a line in the sand and turned down a 1 million dollar offer for his parcel of
land in an effort to keep BOLA pristine and thwart development. He owns a 1.2 mile beach front parcel called La Unica. Apparently he signed a
conservation agreemnet with a conservation group called Prontura that will limit development of his parcel. Hurah for Fermin! Prontura is promoting
turning BOLA into a 1600 acre marine ecosystm park.

good for him, this is one of the nicest beaches down there with shell island right out front. the water is clear and shallow and the sand bottem
offers tons of shells to see and lots of fish. we go and hang out there every time were there and we allso bring the caretakers fish if we have it.
you can only get there by boat and is to far for a one day trip in a canoe or kayak from the bay

"Bahia de los Angeles' 600 year-round residents have no hospital, no full-time doctor, no gas station, and electricity only part of the day. To attend
high school, students often travel eight hours to Ensenada."
From this bit of the article I am somewhat confused. I thought the generator runs from 6AM to 10PM, There is gas there although not a Gov. Pemex
station. Why would you send your kids all the way to Ensenada for high school instead of to GN?

think about this...
There are also "ecological preserves" on the Yucatan, near Cancun. One of them is called Xelha (prounounced shell-ha).
This is a "park" in every sense of the word - drink stands, rides, swim with the dolphin stuff...lets hope that this is NOT what Prontura has in
mind...
See: http://www.xelha.com.mx/

I'm thinking more like Loreto. Fee's for annual and daily use, but no additional services, infrastructure, or money for research and preservation put
back into the community.

BoLA's Smith island
I was exploring smith island last tuesday, I saw a couple of large lizards(a couple feet for the largest) , looked like chuckwallas.
Lots a little cuevitas for them to hide, and bigger caves for ... coyotes?
