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.”
