Pro Sayulita

Pro Sayulita Back in 2005, when Pro Sayulita was founded, the most pressing need was catalyst funding for the town’s Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Our mission is to provide a safe and healthy environment for visitors, residents and businesses; working with groups and local associations on ecological, environmental and cleanliness issues for the well-being of the town and future generations. Pro Sayulita is a non-political, duly-registered and federally-recognized Mexican non-profit association (A.C.), that was founded in 2005 by concerned lo

cal and foreign citizens committed to enriching the quality of life for ALL, in the beautiful seaside town of Sayulita, Mexico. The goal of Pro Sayulita is to recognize and preserve Sayulita’s unique cultural and ecological diversity, and the benefits they provide for all who live and visit here. We work to assist various groups within the community in both articulating new needs that are in the pueblo’s best interests, and in liaising with both local and government entities to secure funding for various immediate- and long-term projects. As the town has grown and evolved, new challenges have arisen. Today, Pro Sayulita Members' donations of time and money facilitates, funds or otherwise contributes to projects under three main umbrellas:
Community Services

Education

🌊 August Water Testing Update | Resultados de agosto

Good news for Sayulita! Our independent August testing found both monitored beaches suitable for recreational use according to COFEPRIS standards:

📍 Playa Principal: 60 NMP/100 ml
📍 North Side: 159 NMP/100 ml
✅ COFEPRIS limit: under 200 NMP/100 ml

These results show a significant improvement compared with June and July. Heavy rainfall and increased river flow likely affected the earlier results; river flow had decreased considerably before the August testing.

Samples were collected every four hours over a 24-hour period and analyzed for Enterococcus by a government-accredited laboratory.

We will continue independently monitoring Sayulita’s ocean water and sharing the results openly with our community—because transparency matters.

🌊 Actualización de las pruebas de agua de agosto

¡Buenas noticias para Sayulita! Las pruebas independientes de agosto determinaron que ambas playas monitoreadas están aptas para uso recreativo conforme a los estándares de COFEPRIS:

📍 Playa Principal: 60 NMP/100 ml
📍 Zona Norte: 159 NMP/100 ml
✅ Límite de COFEPRIS: menos de 200 NMP/100 ml

Estos resultados representan una mejora significativa en comparación con junio y julio. Es probable que las fuertes lluvias y el aumento del caudal del río hayan influido en los resultados anteriores; antes de las pruebas de agosto, el flujo del río había disminuido considerablemente.

Las muestras se recolectaron cada cuatro horas durante un periodo de 24 horas y fueron analizadas para detectar Enterococcus por un laboratorio acreditado por el gobierno.

Continuaremos monitoreando de manera independiente el agua del mar de Sayulita y compartiendo los resultados abiertamente con nuestra comunidad, porque la transparencia importa.

Our Gala Dinner 2026 was a huge success and likely our last one as we transition to a different "Fiesta" model.

Many thanks to Executive Chef Nick Parillo and Damien Porter and all their support team! It was another FABULOUS night with great food and wine pairings. Also, as always, the service was excellent!

A big thank you to our auctioneer, Ian Hodge who miraculously made it after being stung by a scorpion!

We would also like to thank the donors to our Live Auction, Jim Starkey, The Four Seasons Resort, Villa Amor, Cachasol, La Morena and George Reavis for their kind and generous donations. Thanks to all who donated to our Silent Auction too. (There are too many to mention here). And many thanks to Heather Klinkhamer for her intrepid collection of all those items and gift certificates.

But most of all, many thanks to all who joined us that evening! Your support of Pro Sayulita means so much to us and the community!

This week in Bahía de Banderas, a new chapter is being written in the history of our territory.

After three years and eight months of dialogue, work, consensus, and collective effort, the Participatory Ecological Zoning Program (POELP) has been approved. In short, it’s the ecological zoning plan for Bahía de Banderas, designed to balance tourism, urban growth, and environmental conservation.

It is not just a technical document. It is the voice of the land… translated by those of us who inhabit it. Ejido members who know the pulse of the countryside, business owners who understand the dynamics of development, environmentalists who defend the voiceless, and citizens who deeply love this land. Pro Sayulita was deeply involved, many thanks to Laura Maiz who represented us faithfully for many years!

The POELP represents a decisive step toward an urgent balance: growth, yes… but without destruction. Thanks to a mayor who listened, Héctor Santana.

The POELP is the official planning instrument created by the municipality of Bahía de Banderas, together with SEMARNAT and the University of Guadalajara, to regulate land use and guide sustainable development.

The program:

• Analyzes the territory (ecosystems, water, soil, population, infrastructure, economy, etc.).
• Identifies environmental and social problems (water scarcity, waste mismanagement, deforestation, unplanned urban growth, etc.) .
• Defines compatible and incompatible land uses to protect natural resources while allowing development.
• Includes community participation, so the rules and strategies reflect local needs and voices.
• Provides a legal basis aligned with federal and state environmental laws.

Thank you, dear Erik Saracho, thank you, dear members of Alianza Jaguar, REDMas, and all the collectives, environmentalists, ejido members, businesspeople, and federal, state, and municipal officials. We are all brothers and sisters, as the president of the Sayulita Ejido, Eduardo Rodríguez Plascencia, said.

Esta semana, en Bahía de Banderas, se está escribiendo un nuevo capítulo en la historia de nuestro territorio.

Tras tres años y ocho meses de diálogo, trabajo, consenso y esfuerzo colectivo, se ha aprobado el Programa de Ordenación Ecológico Local Participativo (POELP). En resumen, se trata del plan de ordenación ecológica de Bahía de Banderas, diseñado para equilibrar el turismo, el crecimiento urbano y la conservación del medio ambiente

No es solo un documento técnico. Es la voz de la tierra… traducida por quienes la habitamos.Miembros de los ejidos que conocen el pulso del campo, empresarios que comprenden la dinámica del desarrollo, ambientalistas que defienden a los que no tienen voz y ciudadanos que aman profundamente esta tierra. Pro Sayulita estuvo muy involucrada, ¡muchas gracias a Laura Maíz, quien nos representó fielmente durante muchos años!

El POELP representa un paso decisivo hacia un equilibrio urgente: crecimiento, sí… pero sin destrucción. Gracias a un alcalde que supo escuchar, Héctor Santana.

El POELP es el instrumento de planificación oficial creado por el municipio de Bahía de Banderas, junto con la SEMARNAT y la Universidad de Guadalajara, para regular el uso del suelo y orientar el desarrollo sostenible.

El programa:

• Analiza el territorio (ecosistemas, agua, suelo, población, infraestructura, economía, etc.).
• Identifica problemas ambientales y sociales (escasez de agua, mala gestión de residuos, deforestación, crecimiento urbano desordenado, etc.).
• Define los usos del suelo compatibles e incompatibles para proteger los recursos naturales sin impedir el desarrollo.
• Incluye la participación de la comunidad, de modo que las normas y estrategias reflejen las necesidades y opiniones locales.
• Proporciona una base jurídica acorde con las leyes medioambientales federales y estatales.

Gracias, querido Erik Saracho; gracias, queridos miembros de Alianza Jaguar, REDMas y todos los colectivos, ecologistas, ejidales, empresarios y funcionarios federales, estatales y municipales. Todos somos hermanos y hermanas, como dijo el presidente del Ejido de Sayulita, Eduardo Rodríguez Plascen
