Cozumel Reef Restoration Program by Oceanus, A.C.
LOCATION: Cozumel Reef National Park
STATUS: ACTIVE
This locality is very special since we have managed to combine different techniques, installing 6 tree nurseries and 2 grill nurseries, we have about 1,500 colonies transplanted with direct transplant and micro-fragmentation techniques. Thanks to the actions carried out in collaboration with local partners, the colonies have grown and the coral cover has doubled on the site.
It started in 2018 thanks to:
The Mesoamerican Reef Fund (MAR Fund)
SUMMIT Foundation in collaboration with the National Park (CONANP)
Foundation of Parks and Museums of Cozumel (FPMC),

We have a local restoration group and certified guides who can take visitors and locals to learn about the efforts made, as well as spread the importance of reefs and restoration actions.
