ABOUT US
Dr. German Mendez founded the Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program in 2017. Our mission is to conserve and restore all coral species endemic to Cozumel, from the human damage caused by unsustainable development, overtourism, and climate change.
We grow and restore damaged corals in our aquarium and coral garden. Once the corals are fully resorted, we plant them in the nearby Villablanca Reef. We have built 29 coral restoration platforms and restored 10,000+ corals to date!
We conduct research and conservation studies regrading coral reproduction, diseases, and water contamination. We also offer educational programs to both tourists and Cozumeleños, empowering them to help us protect and regenerate their coral reefs.

Cozumel Coral Reef Restoration Program
Volunteers are essential to the CCRRP. We have opportunities of varying lengths, be they families visiting for a day, resident divers who want to give back to the reef, or students doing an months long internship. Many foreign volunteers have become return visitors, travelling to Cozumel yearly to see how much the corals they've planted have grown!
