Science on Cometa

The purpose of this project is the protection and conservation of the humpback whale and marine mammals. After inviting local communities and tourists (domestic and foreign) who visit these areas to participate in biological monitoring of different species through the photo identification and “fixed point technique”, the data they collect with us contributes toward knowing the current state of the population of whales that cross the coast of Oaxaca.

Riding and Conserving

Promotional environmental cycle tour with an approximate distance of 8100 km, starting in the town of Mazunte (Oax.) and crossing the areas of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Mexico, San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas, Durango, Sinaloa, Baja California Sur, Tijuana, Sonora, Sinaloa , Nayarit and Colima.

Training of service providers

We are inviting more maritime tour operators from the district of Santa María Tonameca, Oaxaca, to obtain the certification issued by SEMARNAT authorities (Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources) for the development of non-extractive activities and responsible observation from their boats. As such we are promoting safe practices according to the laws that regulate whale watching in Mexico.
