Field notes
The homepage builds its case through a problem-and-solution sequence, including a comparison labeled Tulum and Eastern Caribbean and a table of Mexico collection totals for 2019–2026. It describes booms as limited to a stretch of coast, crewed boats as costly and weather-limited, and ground crews as reactive. The listed sources include NASA Earth Observatory and the University of South Florida Optical Oceanography Lab; the vessels are presented as a concept render.
