Activities

MARES Center is dedicated to the fields of marine ecology, sustainable coastal management, and public awareness. Our Research and Conservation activities are divided into a variety of programs and projects, all of which are open to volunteers and interns from universities worldwide. Over the last six years, our programs have covered education, public awareness, environmental and social research involving monitoring and interviews, environmental management, anthropology of tourism, ecosystem conservation, and ecosystem restoration.
Our primary focus are marine-coastal ecosystems and environmental coastal management, with the mindset of finding solutions that are part of an integrated strategy for Mahahual. Guided by principles of social development, we maintain close collaboration with the community, the municipality, schools, and private establishments. We also cooperate with the local government as well as with local and international organizations..
For our on-site customers and students, we offer an extensive array of courses and workshops covering marine ecology, reef biology, social sciences, environmental ethics, reef monitoring, and more. Delivered by professional researchers and developed by our research center staff, these courses adapt to diverse durations, ranging from hour-long workshops to five-week monitoring training sessions. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and ensuring that everyone has the best learning experience possible. Furthermore, our Research Center interns and biologists regularly present our work and results through on-site presentations every couple of weeks.
