“Water is the motive force, the life blood of any ecosystem.” ~Jim Petersen, devoted volunteer

We are currently seeking support for the renovation of the laboratory at Centro Ecológico Akumal, so that we may continue our long-term monitoring of the water quality in the region, and provide a quality field station for visiting researchers.

Any monetary donations are always accepted as well as equipment donations. Used equipment is fine, as long as it is dependable. Please contact us if you would like to donate something not on the list, or have questions about carrying equipment through customs.

To request a tax deductible receipt, please include the value of the object.

We thank you for your support in helping to protect the environment!
