The non-profit organization Amigos para la Conservación del Arrecife Cabo Pulmo
(Friends of Cabo Pulmo Reef Conservation) is unique perhaps due to its conservation
history worldwide. Founded by a family living across the northernmost reed in
the Eastern Pacific for four generations , it is a place that stands out because
of its beauty and biodiversity. The relationship between society and nature
in this place has changed from generation to generation for more than seventy
years: First, through a generation that relied entirely on direct utilization
of fishing resources; second, with a gradual change from fishing towards tourism
based on gazing at nature; and third, to a new generation of guardians recording
an inventory of the ecosystem's recovery.
The project we conduct jointly with Amigos para la Conservación del Arrecife
Cabo Pulmo consists of training and assessing new generations of local diving
guides to record an inventory of the extraordinary recovery that the reef has
experienced after 10 years of protection and custody by locals.
