Earn PADI professional diving certifications
Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System is the second largest Barrier reef in the world and is a recognized world heritage site. The reef faces many challenges in conservation such as rising water temperatures caused by climate change, as a result the coral becomes damaged (coral bleaching).
One of the other main challenges is plastic pollution of the barrier reefs affecting the overall health of the ecosystem.
Belize is the leader in effective conservation practices and has already put several policies in place which includes banning bottom trawling moving drilling and oil prospecting offshore.
As a participant you play a vital role in support the country's initiatives by conducting scientific surveys to collect data which is passed on to local authorities and used to make further important decisions when it comes to the conservation of the local area and the Barrier Reef.
