Discrepancies in an environmentally controversial salt production project: local versus national and international perceptions

Article Abstract:

An overview is presented on factors resulting in the cancellation of a salt production project targeted for the San Igancio Lagoon in Baja California, Mexico. The authors argue that although data suggest the project may have been environmentally benign, negative international press coverage of the project, rather than community opposition, generated the cancellation.
