Mexican President Enrique Pe A. Nieto recently designated these islands and their surrounding waters as marine reserves and national parks, prohibiting the extraction, commercial fishing and development of natural resources to protect the island ecosystem and marine life.

The reefs within the protected area have proven resilient to climate change More capable, they can even help repopulate coral-depleted ocean areas. Travel companions (pelagic creatures)
