They ask not to harm crocodilesven dragged into the sea in Ventanilla.
OAXACA, Oaxaca. May 30, 2025 – Members of cooperatives in Playa Ventanilla alerted the public about the bocabarra phenomenon , which, due to recent rains, has created a strong connection between the Ventanilla Lagoon and the sea, causing several crocodiles to be swept onto various beaches along the Oaxacan coast.
During a broadcast from the beach, attributed to lifeguard Juan Eduardo García Escamilla, the moment in which specimens up to 4 meters long crossed the mouth of the river into the open sea was documented.
They warned that these animals may appear on beaches such as Zipolite, Puerto Ángel, Mazunte, San Agustinillo, or nearby communities.
Local authorities issued an urgent call to refrain from attacking the crocodiles or throwing objects, sticks, or stones at them. They explained that these reptiles do not pose an immediate threat and that their presence in the sea is due to a forced displacement caused by the rains that have connected freshwater bodies to the ocean.
If you see any of these animals, please immediately contact the Santa María Tonameca Civil Protection, the Ventanilla or Mazunte lifeguards, or community cooperatives, who are coordinating efforts to relocate the crocodiles to their natural habitat.
"They're not attacking, they're trying to get back in. The sea isn't their space; they're just using it to navigate in these circumstances. Help us protect them," they stated in their message to the public. They also reiterated the importance of reporting any sightings to prevent incidents and preserve the region's environmental balance.
