The Belize Turtle Watch Program has developed 4 posters: the Sea Turtles of Belize and Sea Turtle Life Cycles were developed for Belize Sea Turtle Expo in 2009, and Stranded Sea Turtles and Sea Turtle Census were developed in 2011.

                                                                                                               

The Belize Coral Watch Volunteer Handbook explains details of the Coral Watch Volunteer Program and provides an overview of the information you can study to become proficient in making your observations and reporting accurate data.  The Coral Watch Volunteer Handbook work together with Coral Watch Slate, ID Cards and Training DVD.  All come together in one convenient pack , please call us today and we can send you a Coral Watch Volunteer Crew Pack!

ECOMAR and colleagues of the Belize National Coral Reef Monitoring Network have produced two DRAFT management plans including the Belize Coral Bleaching Management Plan and the Belize Lionfish Management Plan.  These two documents will be going through the final revision process in this year and will be available online after finalization.

ECOMAR is also working on an annual report that will summarize the current state of sea turtles in Belize and recommendations on amendments to the Belize Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plan.

ECOMAR has made and distributed stickers for the Coral Watch, Lionfish & Turtle Watch Projects for distribution to divers and fishermen and tour operators.
