Bahia de Loreto National Park is established
node
Mexico establishes a marine and coastal national park of 206,580.75 hectares in the Gulf of California, about 88 percent of it sea surface, taking in five main islands. It is added to the Ramsar list in 2004 and included in the Gulf of California World Heritage inscription in 2005. It gives the winter end of the eastern North Pacific migration a protected coastal core - the part of the route where nursing females and calves concentrate.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
