Index Issue #0


And in Melóncoyote 1:




Coming in April 2010. The next issue of Melóncoyote will deal with, among other issues, the struggle that La Paz, Baja California Sur is experiencing with trying to save La Balandra, an emblematic area that is being threatened by eager developers who want to convert it into a commercial center, replete with a marina and hotels.

The economic crisis seems to have postponed the federal government’s mega project at Punta Colonet, the most ambitious one of the Felipe Calderón administration, which would turn the area into the country’s largest port and the third largest port of the American Pacific, after Long Beach and Oakland.  Learn more about this in the next edition of Melóncoyote.
