Mexico Navy Keeps Plan Marina Active Across Four Northwest States

The deployments aim to shield coastal communities and ports by using phased, locally tailored naval operations guided by continuous meteorological monitoring.

Overview

  • The Navy has left Plan Marina active in Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California and Baja California Sur to respond to intense Pacific rainfall, carrying out patrols, risk censuses and readiness checks.
  • Sonora’s Segunda Región Naval is operating in a recovery phase with 2,029 personnel, 46 vehicles, two ships, three boats, two drones, a mobile kitchen and nine heavy machines available for relief work.
  • In Baja California the Segunda Zona Naval in Ensenada and the San Felipe naval sector remain in a prevention phase and are working with Protección Civil to visit neighborhoods, identify high‑risk homes and place sandbags.
  • Baja California Sur and Sinaloa maintain preparation postures in key naval zones, while the Santa Rosalía sector is in prevention with about 100 sailors, vehicles, a water‑treatment unit and heavy equipment on standby.
  • The Navy, as national maritime authority, is keeping some Pacific ports closed as a preventive measure and directing the public to its meteorological portal for real‑time updates, a step that protects lives but may disrupt fishing and coastal transport.
