Resort staff very visible and helpful, made stay enjoyable. Two-bedroom unit large, even a walk-in closet in master bedroom. Pool very nice, had to wait at times for pool chairs (reduced number of chairs due to Covid distancing). Beach very nice as well. We like more laid back nature of Cocoa Beach in contrast to some place like Daytona. We have stayed in many other resorts over the last 20 years, and this ranks as one of the best. Would return again.

We loved this resort! Great pool with some activities, tiki bar with snacks and great happy hour. Beautiful boardwalk down to the ocean with a perfect sandy beach! The room was spacious and had everything we needed to cook some dinners. Our balcony had a side view, but could still look over and see the ocean. We will definitely return here the next time we visit Cocoa Beach.

This tour adds to the Port tour to include a cruise along the beach to the Cocoa Beach Pier. You can spot sharks, stingrays, and lots of surfers! as you cruise over the waves and wave to the sunbathers on the beach.

Extend your tour down the beach to see all of the Cocoa Beach area. Then your pilot will take you over the Banana River where you will circle the Thousand Islands, home of pelicans, manatees, and dolphin.

Enjoy incredible views of Florida's coastlines and classic landmarks from the birds-eye perspective of a Robinson R-44 helicopter. Up to three passengers can fly in air-conditioned comfort as you smoothly cruise over the beautiful scenery and wildlife below. With large clear windows and a head-to-toe front bubble canopy, this helicopter adventure will create memories to last a lifetime.

We did the beach flight and really enjoyed it. We are local, but this gave us a completely new perspective on the area. We walk the beach often and see the plane go by, so it was great to be the ones looking down instead of up. Also we flew over areas one normally doesn't get to see, i.e. the cruise ships docked and the Barge Canal. We even flew over our house! Amazing how much water there is! The guys are very friendly and helpful. This trip makes a great gift!

In recent years, evidence has also surfaced of both child labor and slavery on cocoa farms in Brazil.[11] Cocoa workers there face many of the same abuses as those on the cocoa farms of Western Africa.

Aside from cocoa production in Western Africa and Brazil, a significant amount of cocoa is also grown in other parts of Latin America. While it remains possible that some cocoa farms in these places may employ child labor or slavery, at this time, neither practice has been documented as prevalent on cocoa farms outside of Western Africa and Brazil.[9]

The children of Western Africa are surrounded by intense poverty, and many begin working at a young age to help support their families.[23, 24, 14] Some children end up on the cocoa farms because they need work and traffickers tell them that the job pays well.[8] Other children are sold to traffickers or farm owners by their own relatives, who are unaware of the dangerous work environment and the lack of any provisions for an education.[25, 4] Often, traffickers abduct the young children from small villages in neighboring African countries, such as Burkina Faso and Mali, two of the poorest countries in the world.[26, 27] In one village in Burkina Faso, almost every mother in the village has had a child trafficked onto cocoa farms.[6] Traffickers will then sell children to cocoa farmers.

Journalists who went undercover as cocoa farmers documented traffickers in Ghana selling children to them for $34 a child.[14] These children were liberated, and social workers reunited them with their families.[14]

Once they have been taken to the cocoa farms, the children may not see their families for years, if ever.[14] If a child who has been trafficked wants to go home, they will likely not be allowed because the trafficker has sold them to work on the cocoa farms for a certain number of years.[14]

Most of the children laboring on cocoa farms are between the ages of 12 and 16, but reporters have found children as young as 5.[28, 29] In addition, 40% of these children are girls, and some end up working on the cocoa farms through adulthood.[29, 4]

Stacking the cacao beans is the part of the harvest process that most often uses child labor in Brazil. Like in Western Africa, the Brazilian child workers also use machetes to harvest the cocoa from tree branches. They then carry baskets of the fruit, which can weigh up to 44 pounds, on their backs.[11]

Cases of slavery in Brazilian cocoa production were also discovered in recent years. Enslaved cocoa workers have been subject to unsanitary housing, poor work conditions, debt bondage, and long work hours. In three inspection operations in the same main cocoa producing municipalities, Medicilndia and Ilhus, 83 workers were rescued.[11]

The chocolate companies signed the Harkin-Engel Protocol because they were desperate to avoid proposed legislation that would have created a federal certification system to indicate whether or not cocoa was harvested using child slavery. Under the protocol, federal regulators were kept from monitoring the chocolate supply, and the responsibility to end child labor and slavery in the chocolate industry was instead placed with the chocolate companies.[8]

The chocolate industry is also being called upon to develop and financially support programs to rescue and rehabilitate children who have been sold to cocoa farms.[53] To date, the industry has done just as little to aid survivors of child labor as it has done to prevent child labor in the first place. This lip service is characteristic of the chocolate industry, which has the resources to address and eliminate child labor but consistently fails to take action.

The truth is that as consumers today, we have no sure way of knowing if the chocolate we buy involved the use of slavery or child labor. Between a quarter and a third of all cocoa is grown under a certification label, such as various fair trade certifications and the Rainforest Alliance/UTZ Certification; however, no single label can guarantee that the chocolate was made without the use of exploitive labor.[54, 55] The third-party inspectors for these certifications are usually only required to visit fewer than 10% of cocoa farms.[8] Moreover, audits are usually announced in advance, which enables farmers to hide evidence of rule violations.[56] These inspections have made child labor more hidden while remaining just as prevalent.[22]

Certifications do little to address the root cause of child labor and slavery in the cocoa industry: the absense of a living income for cocoa farmers. A living income is the income a household needs to earn in order for its members to afford food, water, housing, health care, education, clothing, transportation, emergency funds, and other essential needs.[22] Almost no cocoa farmers in Ghana or the Ivory Coast make a living income.[22] This even includes cocoa farmers who must turn to growing additional crops besides cocoa in order to supplement their incomes.[60] As long as farmers do not earn a living income, they will not have enough to pay the workers on their farms a living income either and child labor and slavery will continue to pervade the industry.

Despite their role in contributing to child labor, slavery, and human trafficking, the chocolate industry has not taken significant steps to remedy the problem. Within their $103 billion-per-year industry, chocolate companies have the power to end the use of child labor and slave labor by paying cocoa farmers a living income for their product.[37]

I need to make a "full screen overlay window" in a program for OS X. Precisely, the window must at all times be on top of all other windows, including on top of the menu bar in non-maximized-window spaces, and on top of maximized windows in their own spaces, and on top during Expos. It must not participate in "change space" animations; i.e., its position must be fixed relative to the physical screen at all times. (The window will be semi-transparent and will ignore mouse events, but I know how to do this already.)

Our Cocoa For Good strategy is at the heart of our sustainable cocoa work. Driving social and economic benefits, with the help of our partners, helps eliminate child labor. Together, we're working to keep children in school and away from dangerous activities.

Hershey has continued to deliver on our commitment of 100 percent independently verified cocoa, which we first achieved in 2020. Hershey sources cocoa through the world's most recognized cocoa certifying organizations: Fair Trade USA and Rainforest Alliance, and other independently verified programs through our suppliers that meet our Cocoa Key Requirements.

The Income Accelerator, which expands on programming included in our Cocoa For Good strategy, will support cocoa farmers, their families and cocoa farming communities through a multi-faceted approach focused on providing cash transfers, encouraging sustainable farm management practices, building primary schools in cocoa-growing communities and establishing additional village savings and loan associations (VSLAs).
