Name one way tourism has negatively affected the environment in Cancun, Mexico.
•Before it became a tourist destination, Cancun was a barrier island enclosing a massive, shallow lagoon, which was an important nesting site for sea turtles and seabirds
•However, causeways were build at both ends of the island to make travelling from the mainland easier, which blocked water into the lagoon and changed the ecosystems for the turtles and birds
•Also, 60 000 hectares of rainforest and mangroves were removed to make ways for the development of hotels and resorts
•This led to massive erosion and pollution of the war, and large areas of coral reefs are now dead or dying as a result
