Hurricane Beryl's passage through Quintana Roo has left lasting impacts on the Riviera Maya. Notably, Beach 72 in the Solidaridad municipality has seen the formation of sinkholes and an overflow from a local mangrove. The heavy rainfall and hurricane's force have exacerbated these issues, negatively affecting the natural environment and beach access for visitors.
The vast Chen Zubul mangrove, a natural hurricane barrier, has also been disrupted, marking significant changes in the resort post-Beryl. Local workers and environmental authorities have reported on the sinkholes' development and water stagnation in the area, creating a less hospitable environment for both visitors and residents.
The crucial role of these ecosystems in coastal protection and natural disaster prevention is emphasized, highlighting the importance of preserving and maintaining these spaces in the face of adverse weather events.
