Reef Week activities continue after this weekend’s very successful Lagoon Reef Eco Challenge. On Tuesday, April 27, Hol Chan Marine Reserve held an Open Day for the primary schools of San Pedro. With notebooks in hand and a wide open mind, they learned much about the marine ecosystems around the island at the Hol Chan office where educational displays have been set up to all to enjoy.

It’s here again! Yes, the annual Reef Week event and in order to find a theme for this year’s event, Hol Chan Marine Reserve hosted its annual Slogan & Poster Competition. Entries were received, from several primary schools; however, the Holy Cross Anglican School claimed that spot, with their slogan “Save the Reef Today; Tomorrow Might be Too Late!” Therefore Reef Week will be celebrated under that theme from April 19th to the 25th.
As Reef Week comes to a close today, Ambergris Caye Elementary and Island Academy held short skit presentations yesterday, May 7 at the Lions Den. The performances were all to create awareness of our Belizean Coral Reef and ways that we can protect it.
