Laguna Ojo de Liebre

Ojo de Liebre Lagoon (transl. "hare eye lagoon"; also known as Scammon's Lagoon) is a coastal lagoon located in Mulegé Municipality near the town of Guerrero Negro in the northwestern part of Baja California Sur in Mexico. It lies approximately halfway between the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula and the U.S.-Mexico border, opening into the Pacific Ocean. The lagoon is within the Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a Ramsar wetlands site. It also is the site of the biggest commercial saltworks plant in the world. It is an important habitat for reproducing and wintering gray whales and harbor seals, as well as other marine mammals including the California sea lion, northern elephant seal and blue whale. Four species of endangered marine turtles reproduce there. It is an important refuge for waterfowl in the winter. Tourism, now closely controlled, was formerly a threat to the gray whales.
