Discrepancies in an Environmentally Controversial Salt Production Project: Local versus National and International Perceptions

摘要

Summarizing data associated with the salt production project and contrasting these against published media information, we conclude that i ) local newspapers in Baja California Sur support the development of the project; ii ) articles published in Mexico City and foreign countries support the cancellation of the project; iii ) support published in local newspapers for the development of this project, is based on biological, ecological, and socioeconomic data; iv ) claims and requests for the cancellation of this project published in national and international newspapers are based on popular claims not necessarily supported by the available scientific data.
