ECOMAR collaborates very closely with the Belize Fisheries Department.   We work closely with them in identifying project goals in the areas of monitoring for coral bleaching, managing lionfish and documenting abundance levels of sea turtles throughout Belize.  The biologists of the marine protected areas they manage play a crucial roll in each of these projects. 

WWF focuses on "enabling adaption to climate change" and has supported the Coral Watch project since 2008  as we engage stakeholders in monitoring coral bleaching throughout Belize to identify resilient reefs.

In 2011 WWF was a founding supporter of the Belize Turtle Watch Program as we try to identify if climate change is impacting sea turtle populations in Belize.

PACT has supported the Belize Coral Watch Program, Lionfish Project and the Belize Turtle Watch Program.  Their support over the years has been crucial as we reach out and engage stakeholders in diverse backgrounds.

COMPACT has supported the Belize Lionfish Project since 2009.  Their support of the project has enabled ECOMAR to work with the Fisheries Department and other members of the Belize National Coral Reef Monitoring Network to engage stakeholders to manage the invasive lionfish throughout Belize.

GCFI has supported the Lionfish Project and the Belize Turtle Watch Program.  Their support has been extremely valuable to achieving the program goals of these projects.  

In 2010 GCFI and it's partners in the Small Grant Fund supported the Belize-Bahamas Fishermen Exchange Program so we could learn first hand how the Bahamas was managing lionfish.

In 2011 ECOMAR received support from the GCFI Small Grants Fund to support the Belize Turtle Watch Program In-Water Sea Turtle Surveys.

In 2008 ECOMAR partnered with The Nature Conservancy to launch the Mesoamerican Reef Coral Watch Program in Belize.  

In 2010 TNC was instrumental in facilitating the Belize Bahamas Fishermen Exchange as a team from Belize traveled to the Bahamas to learn about lionfish management techniques.

In 2011 ECOMAR became a Conservation Partner of TNC and received GIS software and a laptop to use in mapping data collected in our projects.
