Belize Marine Rescue and Educational Center Soon to be a Reality

In December 2024, construction began on the Belize Marine Rescue and Educational Center in Gales Point Village, located at Southern Lagoon. This center will be open to the public, providing a unique opportunity to see the efforts to protect Belize’s precious marine wildlife up close. Greg Crist, along with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, has played a key role in making this initiative a reality.

“There has been a groundbreaking facility, that project is a fully funded facility.  That hospital will go forward, it will be built and it will be a critical environment for not only manatees but perhaps other species.  What we’re talking about in San Pedro is a support component that will work very, very closely in hand.  Belize is going to be a world-class center for marine science, and this is what [Mayor] Nunez has been focused on in his visits here at Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Florida.”
