Offshore DrillingOceana is working to oppose offshore drilling in Belize’s waters. A map released in February 2010 by the Geology and Petroleum Department confirmed that massive oil exploration concessions have been granted throughout the country of Belize -- including in marine reserves and national parks. |
Destructive TrawlingIn December 2010, the Belizean government announced a ban on all forms of trawling in the country's waters. Oceana in Belize played a crucial role in the decision, collaborating with Belizean Prime Minister Dean Barrow’s administration to negotiate the buy-out of the two shrimp trawlers. |
