Over the past two years, I have traveled and snorkeled my
way along the Pacific coast from Mexico to Chile. Frankly I have found only one
spot worthy of the time and money to dive or snorkel and that was Coral Beach
at Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo just northwest of Acapulco, Mexico. But if you have never
snorkeled or scuba dive before than add the beach at Soggy Pesos in San Carlos
north of Guaymas, Mexico.
There have been some different spots that have been fun but
far from special and overall the Pacific Coast has been disappointing.
The major reason for this disappointment has been the lack
of preservation and/or marine controls or laws from country to country. I was
going to say the poorer countries are the worst offender, but in fact, we back
in the United States, are for the most part just as bad. Everyone thinks that they
can take all they want today and there will still be more it to take tomorrow.
But I have seen firsthand that is not true. We must, worldwide, work on
conservation and proper management of all of our resources. There is a limit to
what we have and what we can use…
The abuse that has been going on
for hundreds of years now must come to an end; the world is at a precipice and
it is our children and grandchildren that will pay the price for our greed
today.
We as people of the world can and
must work harder to conserve and protect or we will not have anything for
tomorrow. This is a fact that can be seen throughout the world…
Please open your eyes and do something; do not just sit on
your hands!!!!!!!
