The Bay of Puerto Marqués, in the city of Acapulco, is marked by conflicts related to land restraints and expropriation decrees, as a result of its geography and wealth of tourism resources. The alteration of the Bay of Puerto Marqués landscape and its environmental degradation are due to the impunity that prevails in the governmental authority. This paper aims to analyze the alteration of the environment, the complicity of the authorities, the environmental impunity and brokenness of companies of the Marquesanos in regard to the civil resistance that has occurred over two decades. Residents of the local community have confronted government intimidation with force, exposing their own lives to save their cultural heritage. The methodology of the research is qualitative because the paper explains the social and cultural attitudes of the local context. Since 2010, the government authorized a development at the Majahua marine, for which there was a 1.7 hectare marine fill, violating existing regulations; meanwhile the Environmental Impact Statement clearly states the damage to the bay and the effect on tourism service providers. In underdeveloped countries such as Mexico, environmental sustainability is a key area of study, but there are few observed positive actions because of impunity.

The list of selected temporary or permanent residents in the geographical area identified as Diamond adjacent to the destination Acapulco, Mexico is a private community meant to be a draft Integrally Planned Center (IPC), a paradigm of the Mexican resort presents inexorable problems contributing to environmental degradation, due to the lack of sufficient water and sewer systems, fractured septic drains create run off which inevitably leaks into the groundwater, causing very low level contamination. Waste water treatment plants that are entrenched rendering them useless, resulting in the raw water running to the sea that threatens to impact the coastal zone degrading a coastal resource gradient, providing ballast which constitute the misfortune of corrupt governments in resource-hungry bypassing the alteration which is a violation of nature away from the precepts of sustainability. The rationale for implementing a development enclave was a scheme that compelled speculation and corruption to the nuclei of replicating native build shanty towns. Residents absent from the underlying problems of territoriality, which expresses the reality between society and the environment, where entrepreneurs unconsciously destroy, build and abandon land by altering the use, ignoring the environmental impacts incur authorities colluded with leniency to the regulations in protecting biodiversity. The research analyzes and provides information, linking reflection and debate on territorial dynamics and problems of the socio-economic, territorial and environmental, as a result of changes in the pattern of urbanization, commercialization, turbulence emanating that the authority dismissed as Agenda 21 (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1992) and environmental impunity.
