"Up to a dozen cruise ships visit at once. Port is essentially jewelry and curio shops. Island is water short. New cruise ship dock is nearly atop Paraiso reef and next to Chankanaab ecological site, Some sites are well managed and protected, but overall the island is stressed, particularly as most ships arrive at the same time."
"The reefs of Cozumel have some of the highest fish density/biomass of the entire Caribbean. The entire marine environment is a reserve and well-enforced, supported in part by the tourism."
"Hurricane impacts are still noticable, but much has been done to restore the situation. Unfortunately there has not been much effort to preserve character or sense of place in recent structures."
"Cozumel can be taken as an example of the need of establishing limits to the number of visitors an island destination can hold at a single time."
"The Cozumel Country Club is the first golf course in Mexico designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from Audubon International."
