In an effort to stop irregular practices on national beaches such as unauthorized vendors and illegal sales of wild life, and to guaranty free access to beaches, on Saturday the Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente (Profepa) initiated in Mazatlán its environmental program “Playa en Regla Invierno 2014.”
The goal of the operation, said Profepa representative Gemi José González López at the inauguration of the program on Gaviotas Beach, is to respect environmental laws and regulations by not cordoning off sections of beaches for private use.
Other principal problems the program plans to regulate is the illegal sale of wild life (such as iguanas, birds) and beach commerce that is operating without the permission of the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat).
The rental and operation of vehicles including seadoos and 4X4 dune buggies, paragliding and horse riding and any activities obstructing free access to beaches not authorized by Semarnat will be scrutinized, said Profepa personnel.
The Playa en Regla Invierno 2014 operation went into operation simultaneously in five Sinaloa locations including Mazatlán on Saturday and will conclude on January 5, 2015. (from Noroeste)
