The perfect surf at Scorpion Bay, in Mexico, is being threatened by a deep ocean phosphate mining project. Scorpion Bay is one of the best surf spots in Mexican waters, but the perfect peeling right-handers may have their days numbered because of “Don Diego,” a mining adventure led by Exploraciones Oceánicas. “The mining permits allow for phosphate exploration off the coast of Mexico in the Bahía de Ulloa, between Abreojos and San Lázaro. Phosphate is exploited for its value as an agricultural amendment and is used in large scale applications in the USA and around the world,” explain Save The Waves.
