I live in Belize on an Island called Ambergris Caye. Belize is a beautiful country as the nature is amazing. Belize is very special as it also has the second largest reef in the world!
A year ago I got certified in diving, and I have seen the underwater wonders we have. Each time I am there I am amazed… we have so much fish and beautiful corals. I have seen Turtles, Dolphins, swam with Sharks and soooo much more.
Swimming with the Sharks!
Thanks to my mom’s friend I learned about Oceana Belize. They are an organization who work hard to protect the marine life in Belize.
When I heard that an American company wanted to do Offshore Oil drilling, I was very sad. Because I wanted the world knowing about it, I was able to be part of making a video for Oceana, showing the world that we have to protect our reef and cannot allow big companies coming to drill for oil. Below you can find the video.
“Please Listen! Listen to the Sea!”
If you also want to help Oceana Belize, let Oceana Belize know!

You are so right, the Belize Barrier Reef, the atolls, the beautiful islands and the mangrove are to fragile to risk any accidents with oil. One mistake would ruin the nature here forever. The ecosystem is a lifeline for Belize, it gives us resources, sustains tourism and the protection form the reef is very reason of Belize’s existence. Keep on protecting Belize!
Beautiful Belize …Cherish it …Love it. Protect it!!
