LORETO UPDATE: CRUISE SHIPS WERE BACK ON THE TABLE.
Just weeks after Mexico revoked Loreto’s deep-sea port designation in May 2026, the possibility of bringing cruise ships back was raised again during official government working-group discussions in June.

How do we know? Through partial records of the official meeting minutes obtained via public information requests.

On June 22, Mexico’s Navy Ministry (SEMAR) formally proposed considering the arrival of large vessels. According to participants, reinstating deep-sea port status to allow cruise ships was also discussed.
Citizen representatives unanimously rejected the proposal.
On July 2, Mexico’s Environment Ministry reaffirmed the presidential directive: NO CRUISE SHIPS. NO DEEP-SEA PORT. NO CARGO VESSELS inside Loreto Bay National Park.
Yet, months later, the final navigation regulations remain unresolved, and the National Park Management Plan update is still pending.
How much longer must Loreto wait for binding protections?
Transparency matters. Public participation matters. And protecting one of Mexico’s most extraordinary marine ecosystems requires more than promises.
Loreto needs legal certainty. Loreto needs action.

Loreto is not a circus, and its future is not a game. Our natural heritage deserves serious leadership, responsible decisions, and genuine respect for the communities and ecosystems at stake.
