#WHALES OR GAS

Whales or Gas is a campaign created by more than 30 organizations to stop the Saguaro project, which seeks to transport liquefied natural gas through the Gulf of California. This project threatens marine life, especially whales, due to increased noise, the risk of collisions, and spills. The initiative is based on scientific studies and informational materials to raise public awareness about the environmental impact and demand protection for these species.

The campaign promotes actions such as collecting signatures, holding public events, building networks of partner schools and businesses, and creating digital content for social media. Its goal is to halt energy projects that damage marine ecosystems and promote decisions that prioritize wildlife over industrial interests. They invite people to sign petitions, participate in activities, and share information to protect the ocean.

ABOUT US

"I started this project with the hope of doing my part for the seas of Mexico. I deeply believe that every little effort counts and that, together, we can achieve extraordinary things. I have dedicated my life to photographing and documenting our oceans, which has allowed me to witness both their beauty and the challenges they face. I am convinced that you don't need to be a great scientist or a great artist to create meaningful change. It is ordinary people who must raise their voices, demand a better world, and lead by example. This space is designed for the community, and I wholeheartedly invite you to be a part of it. Every day I strive to grow and improve as a human being, although I also have my flaws. I am passionate about sharing my art, my experiences, and giving talks and lectures where we can inspire one another. I invite you to meet my team, as well as the great allies and collaborators who accompany me on this journey. Without them, none of this would be possible."
