\"Cancun's<\/p>\n

Y<\/span>ou likely use life, health and auto insurance\u00a0\u2014\u00a0but what about reef insurance? A 40-mile stretch of the Mesoamerican coral reef off the coast of Cancun, Mexico, soon will be the first in the world with its own insurance policy, piloted by the Nature Conservancy (TNC) and reinsurer Swiss Re AG, which helps protect it and surrounding businesses from climate change-related damage.<\/p>\n

The policyholders are the local beachfront hotels and tourism organizations in Cancun and Puerto Morelos, Mexico, that are dependent upon the reef for tourism dollars and storm protection. They will pay policy premiums feeding into the government-monitored\u00a0Reef & Beach Resilience and Insurance<\/a>\u00a0fund and receive reimbursements to repair the reef and beaches when they are damaged by storms and other natural disasters.<\/p>\n
