Plus, the reef helps protect the shore from big waves and storms. By taking care of the reef, we help keep Belize’s land, sea and people happy and safe.
Oceana is doing lots of awesome projects here in Belize! Sometimes, they host fun community events to teach people how important it is to keep our oceans clean. Last month, all the primary schools in my town got to paint three colorful trash bins to help keep their school grounds clean and reduce waste. Oceana also organizes beach cleanups on Saturdays where anyone can join in to help keep our beaches beautiful!
