Workshop:
Integrating BAS' Biophysical Monitoring Data on Coral Reef Ecosystem Health into
Targeted Communications (for fishers, MPA staff, and EE Program).
"A hands-on workshop with a
multi-disciplinary team is underway at the Belize Audubon Society (BAS)
entitled:Integrating BAS'
Biophysical Monitoring Data on Coral Reef Ecosystem Health into Targeted
Communications (for fishers, MPA staff, and EE Program) from March 19th-23rd,
2018.The workshop opened with
welcoming remarks by Starret Greene (Belize OAS) with a Caribbean Ocean
Governance overview by Richard Huber of the OAS Department of Sustainable
Development.Given that Belize has
the 2nd largest and most diverse coral reefs, the workshop will
define science communication and indicator monitoring needs for the outreach and
education programs -- and identify gaps in data and check feasibility of
monitoring of marine protected areas.Belize has 7 marine areas designated as World Heritage Sites that provide
critical habitats for threatened species, including marine turtles, manatees,
and the American crocodile."
Belize has adopted a participatory, multi-disciplinary and
scientific approach in promoting and integrating conservation and protected
areas awareness with sustainable alternative livelihoods. Several NGOs
such as the Belize Audubon Society (BAS) and the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability
Association (TASA) co-manage areas with the Belize Fisheries Department.
These NGOs, in partnership with the Fisheries Department, empower buffer
communities through boat-to-boat and on-site capacity building in coral reef and
business management skills, advocacy, and sustainable alternative livelihoods
options. The mission is to foster environmental stewardship while garnering
collaborative support for the conservation of natural resources.
