Facebook media tools is helping www.cocosisland.cr to reach new fans of Cocos Island in Costa Rica and other countries.

This site was created and developed by the engineer Marco Garrido, who dedicated this domain to his mentor Jacques Ives Cousteau (1910-1997) under Mr. Cousteau´s principles, who always quoted that his mission was aimed   ”…for the survival of the future generations..”

Ing. Marco Garrido did this site and information plattform (as he calls it)  for free and gave it away to the world, as the Cocos Island itself which was declared world ´s patrimony by UNESCO since 1997.

www.cocosisland.cr is maybe the most complete and most accurate web site about the island, because it was made with no commercial interest at all, only for the use of those who really are interested in learning a little bit more about the real truth about the island.

NATGEO visited Cocos Island in Costa Rica during September and October 2009 to study its wild life on the island and its submarine life. The scientifics say that never saw such a high shark  poblation density, and think this may be the highest thet ever witnessed before.

They assume that the reasson for these large schools of fishes in general, happen to be because of the marine richness and unbelievable biodiversity in Cocos Island, and that  the better proof of it is the amazing quantity and size of fishes all around.

National Geographic had the time too to witness and film the so called pouching or better known as shark killings, just for their fins, practiced the most by foreign ships and many chinnese guys.

Though MARVIVA and the Guardcoast of Costa Rica are doing their best, our national security and other ONG have not enough personnal and resources to keep a 24 hours watch around Cocos Island.
