In this episode of Global Goodness, we dive into the vibrant yet vulnerable waters of Cozumel, Mexico — home to some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs. But these underwater treasures are under threat.
Joining us is Dr. German Mendez, president of the Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program, a non-profit working tirelessly to restore damaged reefs, educate the public, and advocate for stronger environmental protections. Dr. Mendez shares the science behind coral restoration, the real-world impact of unchecked tourism and climate change, and the community-driven efforts bringing hope to Cozumel’s fragile ecosystem.
You’ll also learn how you can take action—starting with a petition to stop the expansion of a cruise ship pier that endangers the reef’s survival.
