However, there are still knowledge gaps about the combined positive and negative TC impacts on the structure and function of coastal socio-ecosystems. Using remote sensing tools, we analyzed the frequency, trajectory, and intensity of 1894 TCs from 1851–2019 to identify vulnerable “hotspots” across the Yucatan Peninsula (YP), Mexico.

  • The Mexican Caribbean Continues to Welcome Visitors and Remains Vigilant with Rigorous Covid-19 Prevention Actions
    Official Information from the Government of the State of Quintana Roo COVID-19 Statement Number 3 – March 17, 2020 THE MEXICAN CARIBBEAN CONTINUES TO WELCOME VISITORS AND REMAINS VIGILANT WITH RIGOROUS COVID-19 PREVENTION ACTIONS QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO – March 17, 2020. The state of Quintana Roo in Mexico – home to the Mexican Caribbean’s most popular tourist destinations including Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Cozumel Island, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Isla Holbox and Grand Costa Maya – continues to welcome visitors while maintaining rigorous protocols to ensure the detection, prevention and minimization of risks associated with COVID-19. After nearly two months of coordinated measures across the government and private sector, only four confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the State of Quintana Roo. It is important to mention that all these cases have to do with individuals that live in Mexico. A Mexican-Italian and three Mexican nationals traveled abroad and had contact with someone that was positive for COVID-19. All health protocols were immediately implemented, including isolation of the patients and starting the appropriate treatment, as well as tracing the individuals they came into contact with. The global COVID-19 situation is receiving the highest levels of attention and action by the Quintana Roo State government – with supervision by the State’s Ministry of Health – as well as the private sector and the wider travel industry. Due to these efforts, the risk to visitors remains among the lowest in the world. There is currently no impact to the visitor experience, and as such all destinations in the Mexican Caribbean are open for business.
