Marine and Turtle Conservation

Akumal Bay is globally recognized for its commitment to marine conservation, particularly the protection of its resident green sea turtles. Strict regulations govern tourism activities to safeguard the turtles and their habitats. Organizations like Operation Wallacea are actively involved in monitoring and preserving the health of sea turtles and the essential seagrass beds they rely on. The bay's designation as a protected area ensures the long-term sustainability of this delicate ecosystem.

These initiatives not only preserve the natural beauty of Akumal but also enhance the quality of life for its community.
