- Abstract
For the past few decades, surfers from all over the world, but predominantly American, have visited the barely populated Sierra de San Andrés, 4 km North of Santa Rosalillita on the Pacific Coast of Baja California. These visits have turned the Sierra into one of the most heavily looted areas in the peninsula. The first archaeological survey in the area has revealed its archaeological richness along with the impacts caused by foreign looters. Therefore, it is urgent that environmental and surfing organizations take accountability and protection in the development of a responsible management plan for the Sierra de San Andrés.
