Purpose
We are an alliance of stakeholders who care about Costa Careyes and the stewardship of our paradise. Through an online platform and in-person engagements, we help spearhead and inspire initiatives, promote best practices and practical tools for living a sustainable Careyes life, and encourage sustainable policies that preserve the ecology and ecosystems of the region.
We envision Careyes as a leading global example, acknowledging our shared goal as stewards of these exquisite lands for future generations and our privileged position in having the agency and means to do so.

How to Get Involved
For each category listed above, you will find a point of contact on our Team Page. That team member represents and is working alongside a group of fellow stakeholders who are passionate about the very subject you are curious about.
This is a new project still in its experimental phase. We humbly ask for your support, patience and constructive participation!
This website will be a constantly evolving work in progress, a compendium that represents the overall interests and meaningful conversations that can take place in our community. We are surely missing some key topics here - so please Contact Us and let’s talk!
We are also inspired by the work of the Careyes Foundation that catalyzes innovative programs in education, sports, ecology and the arts, to improve the well-being of local communities along the South Pacific coast of Mexico (in particular 11 local villages). Their projects include the Children's English Program, Sports And Recreation Program, a music school, the Sea Turtle Protection & Conservation Center (this is why the baby turtles on this page look so happy), Preschool Reconstruction following the hurricane, and more. We encourage you to get in touch with them should you want to learn more about any of these domains.
