Rejoinder to MIRA response regarding the touristic project of Tres Santos

Thank you for becoming involved in the matters surrounding the MIRA/Tres Santos mega-development in Todos Santos, BCS, Mexico….[T]he links [MIRA] includes in his response all lead to publicity and promotional material for the Tres Santos project, not to facts…Below I list Mr. Barrios’ questionable assertions…No scientific study has been made public…One cannot “pay” OOMSAPAS [the local water authority] for additional water rights, in fact, this is not legal…Historically the Todos Santos aquifer has been in deficit…To assure the concerned public and the fishermen, MIRA is asked to provide all of the data…Tres Santos needs to make their plans public, and needs to be accountable for these plans. Without this evidence, the community has no reason to believe their intentions…
