Splash Dive Center 8th
Annual Environmental Day
The Belize Barrier Reef is known as the
longest in both the Northern and Western Hemisphere. As described by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN):
“It
provides a classic example of the evolutionary history of reefs, contains
superlative natural phenomena and areas of exceptional natural beauty and
aesthetic importance, and is one of the most pristine reef ecosystems in the
Western hemisphere.”
Diving in the reef: it is no doubt that
the beauty is an entirely new world filled with extraordinary habitats.
Charles Darwin in 1842 referred to this
beauty as “the most remarkable reef in the West Indies”. It is not surprising then that there is never
a dull moment on the diving tours offered by Splash Dive Center in Placencia
Peninsula, Belize.
The locals in Belize have stood their
stance and continue to play a great part in the conservation of the reef today.
It is for this reason that we can continue to offer the natural wild life
beauty found in our Belizean Caribbean Sea. Splash Dive Center also contributes
in the conservation of the reef by organizing its annual Environmental Day.
This year Splash Dive Center will be hosting its 8th Annual Beach
Cleanup and Lionfish Hunt, where we are expecting over a 100 school kids to
participate.
- Event: 8th Annual Environmental Day
- Venue: Laughing Bird Caye National Park, Placencia
- Date: July 13, 2013
- Register/volunteer: contact Patty at patricia@splashbelize.com
Thanks to the strong support of both
locals and visitors we can continue to give all our divers a natural untouched
scuba diving experience in the Belize Barrier Reef. Through our beach cleanup
and Lionfish hunt we aim at not only cleaning the environment, but also at
teaching the community and children the impact of reef trash and the threat of
the Lionfish to our reef. The kids will also have the opportunity
to learn more on Belize’s marine life during a special presentation done by the
senior members of the Splash Kids Club. In addition, they will have a moment to
enjoy time at the National Park, a World Heritage Site
The beauty of natural wildlife is
evident. As you head out on many of our snorkeling and diving tours you may
spot the graceful and intelligent Bottlenose Dolphins. Belize is certainly an
unspoiled beauty! Help us to keep our Caribbean Sea intact.
