ABOUT US

Centro Ecológico Akumal was formed in 1993 to provide environmental initiatives for the protection of Akumal’s coastal and marine ecosystems and biodiversity. 

 

Since then, we have concentrated our efforts into three main areas—research, education and outreach—all three themes are woven through our various programs and projects.

OUR VISION

We are committed to the possibility that Akumal will emerge as an ecologically sustainable community and serve as an example for other coastal communities throughout Mexico and beyond. 

OUR MISSION

To produce and promote strategies for ecosystem management in Akumal, through research, education and outreach for sustainability in the Mexican Caribbean.
