Akumal Geology Walk
During the Mitchell Family vacation in Akumal (south of Cancun) we hired Dr. Charles Shaw to show us the geology of the Akumal area. He explained where sea-level high stand beaches/points were, showed us reef organisms exposed, described the water quality and quantity issues plaguing Akumal, and showed us possible tsunami deposits (basically big piles of reef rubble)! A very nice way to learn about the geology and issues of the Akumal area.
