Sustainable Southern Belize
Despite having one of the lowest population densities in the world, Belize is not protected from immense environmental concerns. Coastal development, industrial growth, overfishing, and tourism activities are changing the landscape. During two separate sessions, Andrew Douglas (Kwinana, Australia), Corey Ortiz (Davenport, Iowa, USA), Ronaldo Firmo (Poços de Caldas, Brazil), and Chad Kavanaugh (Scarborough, Canada) will be part of a multi-national initiative to monitor and protect the health of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef ecosystem, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the communities that depend on it. May 9-17 and May 31-June 8
