Mexico Sues Google Over Gulf of Mexico Renaming to Gulf of America Amid Trump-Era Change and Monitoring Networks

The Mexican government has filed a lawsuit against Google following the company's decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. This renaming has sparked controversy, with some questioning the rationale behind changing the name of the gulf while leaving other geographic names, such as New Mexico, unchanged. The renaming aligns with a broader trend, as the Gulf of Mexico was reportedly renamed the Gulf of America during the Trump administration. Meanwhile, monitoring networks continue to track various bodies of water including the Great Lakes, U.S. coastlines, the Gulf of America, the Gulf of Alaska, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific, uploading member data to public websites in real time.
