Despite overwhelming support from local and national governments to increase cruise traffic to Cozumel, as well as an attempt to bring cruise ships to the island for homeporting, the fourth cruise dock could be off the table.
Opposition from local environmental organizations is growing as the fourth dock could potentially destroy newly formed coral reefs in the area. With a tourism industry shattered by the pandemic and income for locals decimated, the build of the fourth dock has both sides up in arms.
