Belize Gears Up for Reef Week 2025 Celebration

Belize is gearing up for the 14th Annual Reef Week, a week-long celebration of the Belize Barrier Reef’s importance to the environment, economy, and national identity. Running from today, March 15, to March 22, 2025, the event brings together non-governmental organisations, tourism partners, and businesses under the theme “Building Resilience from Ridge to Reef!”

The lineup includes classroom presentations, community clean-ups, marine photography competitions, social media trivia, and an interactive video game experience focused on conservation. Major highlights of the week include a swimming event from Goff’s Caye, the traditional “Ride to the Reef” cycling event from Belmopan, and a grand educational fair in San Ignacio Town.

Organised by the Reef Week Committee, which includes key conservation and tourism stakeholders, the event offers Belizeans an opportunity to engage in marine conservation efforts.
