Amigos de Isla Contoy was founded on October of 1994 to promote the conservation of Isla Contoy, nature areas and regional projects of the Yucatan peninsula through the sustainable development of local communities in collaboration with the National Commission of Nature Protected Areas.  Amigos de Isla Contoy develops environmental education programs for the entire community, including workshops to the 2,800 students (Kindergarten through high school) of the Island, their parents, staff from hotels, restaurants, tourist coops, and stores.

With a special focus on educating children, Amigos de Isla Contoy has also initiated a successful Conservation of Coral Reefs program for all students, beach cleanups, plays that teach about recycling and an elementary program on the environment with materials for teachers.  
 
Their new Community Environmental Education Center in Isla Mujeres offers workshops for adults and children to further their mission of environmental education.  For more information, visit www.amigosdeislacontoy.org.
Through education and photo identification efforts, Ceviche Tours joins the worldwide effort to protect and preserve whale sharks.  As participants on our whale shark tours, guests are invited to be part of those identification and tracking efforts.
