Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program
The mission of the Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program is the preservation of the fragile coral reefs, providing educational programs promoting conservation of the coral reefs, and the restoration of reefs affected by human activities and storms. It aims to educate and empower others to take care of and improve our ocean. A nonprofit organization, it is funded solely by donations. The program consists of an introduction from a reef specialist who will share insights about coral biology, reef ecology, and the challenges coral reefs face today. Through interactive displays and educational exhibits, you'll explore how corals reproduce and how restoration programs help cultivate young corals that may one day contribute to the recovery of nearby reefs.

The main focus of this experience is on learning and supporting conservation work, while understanding the role that responsible tourism plays in protecting marine ecosystems. Depending on the needs of the day, you may also participate in activities such as shore restoration or cleaning efforts or other activities that help maintain healthy coastal environments.

Snorkelers later are guided through coral gardens appreciate the environment that they've helped to preserve. Observe two decades of reef restoration efforts and a thriving marine ecosystem, appreciating and enjoying at the same time while minimizing our impact.

What you will see along the way:
The abundant and beautiful marine life in Cozumel that has been vividly documented by such famous oceanographers as Jacques Cousteau, took several hits, from hurricanes to global warming, which have threatened the marine life and its beauty. During this activity participants will learn about environmental challenges as well as the efforts and initiatives to preserve the fragile reefs.

Snack:
After your participation in the restoration program, you'll have time to rinse off and relax on the sandy beach. There is a restaurant and bar at this pleasant location serving local food and drinks (at your own expense).
