Cabo Pulmo National Park

Cabo Pulmo is a national marine park on the east coast of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Pulmo Point to Los Frailes Cape, approximately 60 miles (100km) north of Cabo San Lucas. Bahía Pulmo is the location of the oldest of only three coral reefs on the west coast of North America. The reef, estimated to be 20,000 years old, is the northernmost coral reef in the eastern Pacific. ^[3] The reef has a number of fingers of hard coral occurring in progressively deeper water offshore. On June 15, 1995, Mexican President Zedillo declared the area surrounding Cabo Pulmo, a National Marine Park. Amigos para la Conservación de Cabo Pulmo, A.C. (Friends for the Conservation of Cabo Pulmo - ACCP) is a community organization founded in 2002 to promote conservation of the natural resources of the park.^[4] Carlos Narro was appointed the first official Park Director by La Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas or CONANP in 2004. ^[5]
