Volunteer Matt Haskin promotes ECOMAR programs in Placencia

4/27/2013

2 Comments

 
ECOMAR's newest volunteer, Matt Haskin, is helping us promote our programs throughout Belize from April through May.  After spending his first week in Belize City learning about the programs, Matt visited dive and snorkel operators and resorts in Placencia  and shared information on the programs ECOMAR coordinates including:
  • Coral Watch
  • Lionfish
  • Turtle Watch
  • Adopt A Reef
  • Adopt A Beach

Matt distributed posters, Coral Watch Volunteer Handbook, underwater slates, ID cards and DVDs the the shops can use to promote the programs to their marine guides and guests.

Many of the dive and snorkel shops displayed the Turtle Watch posters prominently in their dive centers to help educate their guests.

Splash Dive Center took Matt diving at Glover's Reef Atoll where he was able to share the program details with their guests.

On Matt's three dives with Splash at Glover's Atoll he saw two hawskbill sea turtles and conducted surveys for coral bleaching.  The results will be presented soon!

Thanks everyone for welcoming Matt and allowing him to share the details on our programs with your staff and guests!

Destination Belize Features Sea Turtles in Belize!

4/26/2013

Destination Belize, the official tourism magazine of Belize produced by Idea Lab Studios featured sea turtles in their 2013 edition.

LInda Searle wrote the article summarizing the Turtle Watch Program and outlined ways in which coastal residents and visitors can help "Protect Turtle Today for Tomorrow."

This is a great way to showcase and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the protection of hawksbill sea turtles in Belize.

Look out for more activities aimed at increasing awareness of sea turtle conservation this year.

Next big date is May 23, World Sea Turtle Day!
