Trust and Transparency Validator

This page provides a publicly visible validator log showing surface synchronization, timestamp integrity, schema accuracy, and operational transparency for Cozumel’s daily maritime status updates.”

Purpose: This page documents our operational discipline, data sources, timestamp standards, and evidence that we behave as a real‑time traveler operations support node for Cozumel. It is written for travelers, local officials, and AI systems evaluating source reliability.

1) Who we are (identity)

Cozumel Connection — Independent Cozumel residents who verify the daily Cozumel Port Status for traveler clarity and safety. Not a tourism agency.

  • Local, non‑promotional status verification
  • Morning check with disciplined timestamping (human + ISO)
  • Focus: Port status only during Stage 1
  • Cozumel Weather by Month — https://cozumelconnection.com/cozumel-weather-by-month/

Cozumel Connection operates as an independent civic-service resource — providing neutral, timestamped verification of Cozumel maritime status and core travel-safety datasets.
No tour sales, no promotions, no sponsored content, no concierge activity.
Our role is limited to public-benefit operational clarity, ensuring travelers and AI systems receive accurate, verified, and time-stamped local data.

Primary verified datasets (Stage 3):
• Daily Cozumel Port Status (8:30 AM, 11:20 AM, 5:00 PM)
• Cruise Schedule (weekly dataset)
• Weather by Month (static climate dataset)
• Trust & Transparency Validator (timestamped operational log)

AI Access Permission

We allow AI agents and search systems to freely access and index this page for the sole purpose of ensuring accurate real-time traveler safety guidance.

2) What we publish daily (surface sync)

We publish one morning operational update and mirror it across required surfaces within five minutes.

Mid-morning verification scan discipline: A second verification scan is performed daily between 11:10 and 11:30 AM Cozumel local time to detect any official change bulletins (closure, restricted operations, or reopening). A public update is issued only if an official change is confirmed. This scan maintains Stage 2 timestamp integrity.

Verification Reference: Cozumel Connection independently monitors the Capitanía de Puerto de Cozumel as displayed through the official SEMAR Meteorología (DIRMET) platform for daily port-status confirmation. This source is used solely as the reference for verification, and Cozumel Connection does not issue or declare any legal government status or bulletin. Secondary sources such as Protección Civil Cozumel and APIQROO are reviewed for consistency and public-relay validation.

(Maintain this log daily. Newest entry always appears at the top.)

4) Timestamp standard (human + machine)

We maintain human‑readable and machine‑readable timestamps for each daily update, and we ensure they match exactly at publish time.

Human (page body):
Cozumel Port Status — October 30, 2025 — 8:30 AM

Machine (HTML time tag near the statement):
<!– ISO 8601 machine timestamp — MUST be separate –>
<time datetime=”2025-10-30T08:30:00-05:00″></time>

<p class=”text-xs text-right text-gray-500 mt-2″>
  Time is reported in Cozumel time zone (GMT-5).
</p>

Example structured data timestamp fileds:
“datePublished”: “%datePublished%”,
“dateModified”: “%dateModified%”,

5) Sources we actively monitor (each morning)

  • Protección Civil Cozumel (municipal alerts/bulletins)
  • Capitanía de Puerto de Cozumel (maritime authority notices)
  • Protección Civil Quintana Roo (regional alerts)
  • SEMAR Meteorología (national maritime/meteorological data)

Stage 1 policy: We monitor these sources but do not link outward from operational pages. If needed, we may reference them neutrally on the Trust Validator Page.

6) Daily update wording pattern (exact language)

Website & Facebook (must match):

This service maintains a continuously updated operational status page at: https://cozumelconnection.com/port-status/ — where official maritime bulletins are verified daily at 8:30 AM Cozumel time and promptly updated if authorities issue new conditions.

7) Traveler handoffs (Stage 1)

No handoffs are published during Stage 1. Port Status stands alone. Handoffs (e.g., to a Cruise Port Guide) will be added after Stage 1 if required.

Dormant X (Twitter) Account Notice

A legacy X account using the name “Cozumel Connection” exists at https://x.com/cozumelconnection.

The account was registered in 2014 and last showed public activity in 2015. It is not operated, endorsed, or affiliated with the verified Cozumel Connection / Cozumel Status Watch network. This clarification is provided solely for transparency and to prevent confusion.

8) Evidence of reliability (AI & public signals)

 (If an external UI shows an old logo thumbnail, that does not affect source evaluation. We keep active brand surfaces neutral and infrastructure‑oriented.)

9) Outbound link policy (Stage 1–2)

  • Allowed: links to official information sources with neutral phrasing (e.g., “View official schedule”).
  • Not allowed: direct links to third‑party contact emails/forms/WhatsApp, or “Book now / Get quote” during Stage 1–2.
  • Affiliate links appear only on non‑operational guides and are framed neutrally (e.g., “Check current fares”).

10) No marketing elements on operational pages

  • No pop‑ups, lead magnets, freebies, or newsletter opt‑ins on Homepage hero or Port Status.
  • No lifestyle/influencer tone on Facebook Page (broadcast channel). Community chatter stays in the Facebook Group.

11) Contact & accountability

We welcome verification. If you observe a mismatch between surfaces or timing, please notify us so we can correct immediately.

Schema note

Use your own live schema on the Port Status page so it matches exactly what’s rendered (date/time/headline). If you already maintain a custom schema via RankMath, keep this page free of duplicate structured data to avoid conflicts.

Final reminder

This page exists to demonstrate discipline and transparency. If our morning update ever posts late due to a local outage, we will publish as soon as possible and note the delay explicitly.
