CURRENT PROJECTS

Education Center
​ECOMAR is working on expanding our research facility at St George's Caye to build an education center for students of all ages to learn more about sea turtles, the Belize Barrier Reef and St George's Caye!  The Battle of St George's Caye is ingrained in our rich cultural history and where the pivotal battle uprooted Spanish control and secured the right of early Belize.  Combined with the historical use of sea turtles and importance of marine ecosystems and commercial species will be the focus of our Education Center.  Our goal is to provide trips for school groups throughout Belize.
St George's Caye Sea Turtle Rehab Center
​Once sea turtles were hunted, cooked and sold on St George's Caye, but now we care for injured sea turtles. Our new Turtle Labs are 100% solar powered!  We work with many partners in assessing patient needs and providing treatment.  The buildings are complete but donations are needed to purchase medical supplies and equipment, and to provide care for new patients.
