According to their reports, at least 27 pelicans have been found covered in crude oil, along with other affected species. Images released by the organization show contaminated vessels at Playa Salinas, in the municipality of Alvarado, where activists claim that despite handing over specimens to the authorities, no adequate response has been made to contain the emergency. The federal deputy Sergio Gil Rullán criticized the governor of Veracruz, Rocío Nahle, for downplaying the spill by referring to it as 'droplets', which he described as a negligent and irresponsible stance. The legislator demanded transparency regarding the causes of the incident, which occurred since March 2, as well as immediate actions to mitigate its effects. Almost a month after the spill, the origin of the hydrocarbon has not been determined, while organizations warn that the damage affects not only the biodiversity of the Gulf of Mexico but also the economic activities of fishing communities in Veracruz and Tabasco. Due to the lack of official clarity, environmental collectives reiterated the call for a thorough investigation and the implementation of urgent remediation measures to prevent major ecosystem deterioration. A hydrocarbon spill in the Gulf of Mexico has impacted over 600 kilometers of coastline in Veracruz, causing damage to marine fauna and coastal communities, denounced environmental organizations and lawmakers. The Earth Mission organization accused the state government of minimizing the magnitude of the incident, stating that the environmental damage is 'incalculable'.
