About Cabo Pulmo
Cabo Pulmo is a small community of 180 inhabitants, located in the southern region of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. The coastal waters alongside our community harbor the largest coral reef in the Gulf of California, which may be the oldest reef system in the entire Pacific Northwest. Our community was traditionally dedicated to commercial and subsistence fishing, but has since recognized the tremendous ecological value of the reef and, facing the impending degradation of local fisheries, we sought official protection for our valuable marine ecosystem.
We received tremendous support from students and professors at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur (UABCS) in this conservation effort, and in 1995 the Cabo Pulmo National Park (CPNP) was officially created, which encompasses 7,111 hectares of protected marine and coastal areas. Today, this small marine park is internationally recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, and a wetland of international importance by the RAMSAR convention.
We are the primary stewards of our local ecology and environment; many of our community members own small family businesses that are dedicated to ecotourism, conservation, and sustainable development. Since the establishment of the marine park, Cabo Pulmo has transformed into a marine environment with the largest concentration of fish in the entire Gulf of California. Cabo Pulmo is a model of community-based marine conservation that sets an example at the global level.
