A couple years ago Mitsubishi had plans to put a huge plant on east side of Gulf of California to make salt from seawater. There was overwhelming opposition to it on grounds it could adversely affect whale population there.
Why? Would it throw them out of work?

It was going to be built on a lagoon that is one of the very few calving grounds the gray whales have, and would have wreaked havoc with the salinity levels in the lagoon. A similar plant, also in Baja California, has been shown to zap sea turtles, mostly by periodically discharging hypersaline water, which their systems can't handle.
