As human population increases along the coastline of the Sea of Cortez, so too does human development increase its impact on the natural environment. CEDO works with government agencies, commercial interests, private landowners and the general public to minimize that impact, and to create not only sustainable resource use practices, but also to create an inclusive process of land use management that involves and engages the largest number of stakeholders in the region. When all interested parties are part of the process, they are more likely to be an active part of the solution. Read more about the planning processes that are developing. 
STAFF PROFILE: Paloma Valdivia Least Tern Needs YOU!  Students, teachers, families and friends joined CEDO on a charter boat ride to San Jorge Island, to learn more about the rich biodiversity of its surrounding waters, and to celebrate their victory in the 2011 Environmental Contest. Some participants had never experienced such an outing, so at first, they were hestitant to participate in all the activities. But by the end of the excursion, everyone was talking, laughing, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and through all these activities, learning more and more about the natural world around them. The boat trip to the island and the hike to the Pinacate Reserve, where they learned about the volcanic activity of that region, lasted most of the day. Towards evening, everyone congregated at the CEDO Field Station for Barbeque and conversation. One thing was clear to the students throughout the research they conducted during the contest: despite regulations and restrictions imposed on commercial fishing with the intent to conserve healthy ecosystems, by fishers are not doing enough voluntarily and enforcement is spotty at best. Students committed themselves to working long into the future with CEDO, their community and others interested in the health of the environment and sustainability of resource usage.
