Anyone know if we can help lobby the latter?

There is an effort to call attention to this issue. You can find more information at:

This is the website of the DeRoses who run AquaTech Villa DeRosa in Akamul. They are very active in fighting to perserve the caves. Almost all of the dive operations in that area are actively fighting to keep the sewage from being pumped into the ground. Any attention from divers around the world can only help.
