Who are the authorities in Akumal?
We get frequent inquiries about who are the authorities in Akumal in relation to the Fish Refuge and the Refuge for Protected Marine Species and questions about who is enforcing things.
To answer this, we have put together a chart detailing the "who is who" and "what they do."
Note that CEA is a non-governmental organization, not a legal authority---while we have pushed for policy for the conservation and protection of the area (including the refuges), the creation of standard guidelines and the protection program, as well as the implementation and enforcement fall into the hands of the authorities above.
