The Belize Barrier Reef, stretches for 185 miles across the coast of Belize. As part of the larger Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, seven key marine protected areas have been identified as the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (BBRRS), which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Forming part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, is the magnificent Great Blue Hole. An international icon and Belize’s most famous dive site, the Blue Hole is undisputedly a must-see for divers planning a trip to Belize. The giant marine sinkhole lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef. It is the world’s largest natural formation of its kind. Building on the this natural wonders greatness, Belize also has three of the Western Hemisphere’s four total atolls.

Steps to protect and preserve this jewel against the elements have become fruitful. The Belize Barrier Reef was removed from United Nations endangered places list after almost a decade with key preservations efforts taking form. From the phasing out of single use plastic, banning offshore-drilling and other conservation initiatives – as a small country Belize has done outstandingly well to protect this jewel.
