Abstract: | In this issue of Environmental Management, Glenn and others posit that a previous study had analytical and interpretive errors
in analysis of shrimp fishing in the Upper Gulf of California, Mexico. Unfortunately, much of their evidence is too indirect
and of insufficient scale to address the central question of salinity in the Upper Gulf. Also, many of their suppositions
did not include direct interviews with local officials or a robust understanding of remote sensing literature. This response
to their rebuttal presents a set of figures and analysis demonstrating that the Colorado River flows into a closed evaporative
basin known as the Laguna Salada and thus cannot flow into the Gulf of California. Readers are asked to examine the images
and interpret their meaning for themselves. |
