In celebration of International Year of the Reef 2008,
ECOMAR launched REEF RALLY in efforts to keep a
record of unique marine life sightings in Belize.  

For many years we have received anecdotal reports
of whales being sighted between Turneffe and
Lighthouse Atolls.  In efforts to record these
important sightings the Reef Rally project was
initiated.

Everyone is encouraged to submit reports of
sightings of unusual or rare fish, mammals or
invertebrate, or anything out of place like manatees
at Glovers or whale sharks outside of Gladden Spit.  

If you have photographs taken in the past of rare
marine life please submit these along with date
observed and location of sighting.

Please submit your observation report via the
"submit sighting" link of this page, by email, via the
postal service, or by delivery in person.

Please be sure to take a photograph or video of your
sighting so we can include this on the website.  Don't
forget your cell phone probably has a camera
feature, if of course your sighting is topside!
