The Revillagigedo Islands (Socorro), Mexico
The Revillagigedo Islands or Revillagigedo Archipelago are a group of four volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, known for their unique ecosystem. They lie approximately 390 kilometres (240 mi) southwest of Cabo San Lucas, the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and 720 to 970 kilometres (450 to 600 mi) west of Manzanillo. They are located around 18°49′N 112°46′W. Technically part of the Mexican state of Colima, the islands are under Mexican federal jurisdiction.
In July 2016, the Revillagigedo Archipelago were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2017 they were declared to be a marine reserve and a national park of Mexico.
Hello. I am 11 years old but my dream is to be a marine biologist. I love whales and jellyfish. I have always wanted to go to the Georgia Aquarium but My Mom says its too expensive. My goal in life is to clean up the Great Pacific garbage patch. It breaks my heart to know that humans don’t care about the ocean.
On that last part, I totally agree with you! It is a sad thing, humans don’t notice that these wonderful animals were here before us. Thus, we need to help them and respect them.
hi, when i go to college i want to be a marine biologist on dolphins, so a mammalian marine biologist. i may be young but when my parent took me to the georgia aquarium, we saw the dolphin show and we got super wet but it was worth it. anyway, these animals, or dolphins inspired me to help and take care and work with these wonderful dolphins when i grow up.
Awesome! We wish you all the luck in the world!
