Cozumel Reef Transplant Project Remains Intact After Hurricane Delta

Representatives from the Foundation of Parks & Museums Cozumel (FPMC) recently reported that the reef transplant project – located inside Chankanaab Park – remains intact and in good condition despite the passage of Hurricane Delta nearly two weeks ago.

 

More than 1,000 coral reef fragments were installed in 2017, on structures installed along the Chankanaab coastline.  Biologists from the Center for Conservation and Environmental Education (Centro de Conservacion FPMC) , lead by Antonio Chale Chim, have been overseeing a coral ecosystem restoration program since it was originally installed in a joint project with the Oceanus AC.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
