URGENT!!!!! YOU CAN HELP COZUMEL!
Tourism in Cozumel has been hit hard by the recent flu scare, despite the fact that the island has remained open for business and without a single case REPORTED.
The petition calls on the CDC to "specifically identify the areas in Mexico where there are greater and lesser risks, and where there are none, as this general alert is unfairly and seriously affecting tourist areas where there are no cases, nor any threat from the H1N1 Influenza A."
The online notice calls on the US Government to update its travel alert for Mexico to make clear Cozumel is safe.

The marine biologist César Zepeda Escamilla mentioned to the press that they captured the first Lionfish in Cozumel. Wow!
Is a beautiful fish but is really dangerous. This fish eats juvenile fish and can cause a big effect to the marine life in Cozumel.
