Environmentalists Urge Protection of Mexican World Surfing Reserve.

Mexican and US surfers and environmentalists are leading an effort to protect a premier ocean beach in an area internationally recognized as a world surfing reserve in Ensenada, a city considered the “cradle of surfing” in Mexico. They say the coastal ecosystem of the beach Tres Emes, a site that has been historically used by surfers, is at risk of being contaminated by the construction work on a corporate fish farm and its residual waters may threaten the health of bathers, surfers and fishermen.

Guests: Víctor Rodríguez, Journalist, Ensenada, Baja California, MX; Beatriz Ibarra, Surfer, Ensenada, Baja California, MX; Serge Dedina, Executive Director, Wild Coast San Diego, CA.
