PROFEPA TO ENFORCE BAN ON QUAD BEACH USE

PROFEPA, the Environmental Protection Agency of Mexico, has announced that it is stepping up its effort to stop the illegal use of motorized vehicles on the beaches of La Ventana and El Sargento.  This includes the use of quads.

From the La Ventana View:

“There is an approximately 20 meter (65 feet) strip of land, measured from the mean high tide line of the sea, known as the FEDERAL ZONE.  This land is owned by the federal government, NOT the public.

Within the FEDERAL ZONE (beach), the federal government controls water rights and limits vehicles, certain activities, and construction that could endanger people, damage natural resources, or cause pollution. It is ILLEGAL to drive any motor vehicles in this zone. (Art. 7, Fracc. 1, Reglto. de ZOFEMAT)  If you are in the FEDERAL ZONE, in or on a vehicle, you are here illegally.

PROFEPA is one of several sub-commissions in charge of protecting the beach from miss-use, and it  is taking more efforts.  We ask that you do your part by keeping vehicles off the beach.
