  • Belize Factsheet IV – Maritime and Coastal Tourism
    Evidence-based and policy coherent Oceans Economy and Trade Strategies1. Sector data factsheet2: Belize Maritime and coastal tourism 1. INTRODUCTION The project “Evidence-based and policy coherent Oceans Economy and Trade Strategies” aims to support developing countries such as Barbados, Belize and Costa Rica, in realizing trade and economic benefits from the sustainable use of marine resources within the framework of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This data factsheet presents detailed sectorial information of one (of the four) ocean sectors selected in Belize to facilitate the identification and informed selection of key sectors to be considered for the next phase of the project: Sector 1 Sector 2 Sector 3 Sector 4 Marine fisheries Aquaculture Seafood manufacturing Tourism 1.1. THE MARITIME TOURISM SECTOR Tourism is the largest of all ocean economic sectors, generating more than a USD 1.6 trillion globally in 2017. International tourist arrivals grew by 7% reaching a record of 1,323 million arrivals in 2017. It is expected that international arrivals will reach to 1.8 trillion by 2030 (UNWTO, 2018), outperforming all other services sectors with perhaps the exception of financial services. Tourism is also the sector that contributes the most to the GDP of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but also of coastal developing countries. These countries enjoy a special geographical situation, outstanding natural endowments and cultural heritage richness that make them unique for visitors. At the same time, they confront several challenges and vulnerabilities including remoteness, low connectivity, limited economic diversification, small internal markets, as well as adverse, perhaps recurrent climate events.

It’s hard to argue with that! “Belize’s small size makes it ideal for family trips because you aren’t spending a ton of time traveling between its diverse landscapes,” says Moon Belize travel guide author Lebawit Girma. “Not to mention the ancient Maya, Caribbean, Latin and Afro-indigenous cultures all in one place make it a great learning vacation, too.” From tubing through caves to snorkeling in the world’s second-largest barrier reef to tasting cocoa beans in the jungle to holding a green iguana in your hands, Belize delivers big on making unforgettable family memories.

  • The Status of the Black Catbird Melanoptila Glabrirostris on Caye Caulker, Belize
    Bird Conservation International (1991) 1:283—292 The status of the Black Catbird Melanoptila glabrirostris on Caye Caulker, Belize BRUCE MILLER and CAROLYN MILLER Summary An evaluation of the relative abundance of the Black Catbird Melanoptila glabrirostris was undertaken on Caye Caulker, an offshore island along the barrier reef of Belize, Central America. Although the species is locally abundant in part of the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, the species is facing habitat fragmentation and loss due to develop- ment, both along the Mexican coastal areas and on the island habitats in Belize. The Caye Caulker population appears to be the largest in Belize. Transects of fixed radius point counts resulted in 15.5% and mist-netting resulted in 22.4% of all birds recorded being Black Catbirds. The Neotropical migrant Grey Catbird Dumetella carolinensis apparently shares the same habitat on Caye Caulker and comprised 11.2% of all birds netted. The netted Black Catbirds were noted to have substantial fat deposits. The habitat on Caye Caulker is facing probable fragmentation from recent accelerated land speculation and development of an airstrip. Introduction The Black Catbird Melanoptila glabrirostris is found sparsely along coastal mangroves and island cayes of the Belize barrier reef and appears to be declin- ing. AOU (1983) lists it as resident in the Yucatan Peninsula (including Cozumel, Holbox and Mujeres islands, and Caye Culebra), northern Guatemala (Peten), Belize and extreme northern Honduras (Omoa). Phillips (1986) limits present distribution to the Yucatan Peninsula, south to Belize and into the Peten in northern Guatemala. He questions records from Holbox, Contoy and Mujeres islands and maintains that the Omoa, Honduras, location is in error; Ridgely and Gwynne (1989) corroborate this and suggest that the Honduras specimen may have been mislabelled and was actually taken in Belize.

  • Caye Caulker Lobster Fishery
    Caye Caulker Lobster Fishery Last Updated: October 2020 1 Part I: Static Analysis - Collective action Caye Caulker is a small coral island located 15 miles off the northeastern coast of Belize. Boundaries are drawn based on natural barriers such as the barrier reef, that lies to the east of the Caribbean Sea. The set of individuals who have rights to withdraw from this resource were well-defined at the time of the study. When the case was documented, the appropriators were attempting to exercise de facto closed access to the lobster fishery. The resource appropriated from Caye Caulker is lobster. 1.1 The Commons Dilemma • The potential appropriation problem was overcome. The availability of lobster is largely a product of the fecundity of the surrounding tropical seascape ecosystem. The effective management of the Caye Caulker lobster fishery stems from the fact that its socio-cultural institutions, such as the Northern Fishermen Cooperative So- ciety (NFCS), draw on the strengths of particular cultural features (individualism, independence, family organization and kinship, loyalty, and reciprocal exchange), which enable the effective management of the lobster fishery. Since the inception of the NFCS in 1960, the shareholders have been economically successful. The in- stitution has been able to effectively produce and market Caribbean Spiny Lobster for international trade. As of 1986, the NFCS has mitigated the over-harvest of lob- ster surrounding Caye Caulker, thus, effectively managing the common-pool resource. However, with the success of the cooperative, increased production, and increased tourism, hidden fragilities are hypothesized to arise in the system. • The potential under the provision of public infrastructure was not overcome.
