The fishing cooperative "Por la Justicia Social" plans to renovate their two cabins on Isla Contoy as soon as possible, as part of their beach cleaning and maintenance program, according to their director Baltazar Gomez Catzin. They have received funding from CONANP, the National Commission for Protected Natural Areas for five GPS devices, and are looking for the best way to fund this project, and applying to CONANP.
There is an area on Isla Contoy where there are huts for the fishermen to sleep in during the rainy season and at night when they are in the area hunting for lobster. Many of these cabins are in poor condition and in need of rehabilitation.
