This lagoon and others like it along the Baja coast are used for breeding grounds for the Gray Whale.The gray whale occurs in two distinct populations. One inhabits the Sea of Okhotsk in summer, migrating south in winter to breed off southern Korea. The other summers in the Bering and Chukchi seas and travels south to winter breeding grounds along the coast of Baja California. The gray whale was hunted almost to extinction by 1925 but was placed under complete international protection and since the 1940s has increased in numbers. The white grids seen in the photo are commercial salt ponds.
