Marine Protected Areas in Quintana Roo

The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) promotes Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). A summary of MPAs explains:

Coral reefs are one of the most productive, yet most threatened, ecosystems on the planet. A wide variety of activities ranging from coastal development to global warming to overfishing have endangered coral reef health. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) provide a comprehensive approach to addressing these threats and are one of the most promising solutions for the survival of coral reefs and the many benefits they provide to people.
