Our conservation strategy in Magdalena Bay

Magdalena Bay is one of the most important marine and coastal ecosystems in the eastern Pacific. Its high productivity and biodiversity make it a key site for natural processes such as migration, reproduction, and feeding for multiple species. At the same time, it faces increasing pressures from human activity, poorly managed tourism, and climate change.
