Wading birds and healthy seas — it’s all connected.

In Rio Lagartos, mangroves provide essential habitat for birds like herons, egrets, and flamingos. But these coastal forests do more than support wildlife above (and in) the water — they also protect the marine environment by filtering runoff, preventing erosion, and providing nursery grounds for fish and other sea life.

Protecting mangroves means protecting ocean ecosystems. Conservation helps the whole coast thrive.

Each year, thousands of Caribbean flamingos 🦩 (Phoenicopterus ruber) nest in the wetlands of Río Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, the largest colony in North America. The thriving population is a powerful indicator of healthy coastal ecosystems. Behind the scenes, ongoing conservation efforts protect this critical habitat:

 Mangrove preservation and restoration

 Protection of endangered sea turtle nesting sites

 Monitoring of bird populations

 Community engagement in sustainable practices

Flamingos depend on clean, healthy wetlands to feed and raise their young. Protecting places like Río Lagartos doesn’t just help one species—it safeguards an entire web of marine and coastal life.

Sleek, fast, and vital to reef ecosystems, the grey reef shark patrols the waters of Half Moon Caye, Belize. 

Growing up to 8 feet long, they help maintain marine balance but face threats from overfishing. Classified as “Vulnerable”, their survival depends on conservation efforts.

Respect, protect, and admire—our oceans need these apex predators. 🐬🌍

On Half Moon Caye, red-footed booby chicks are hatching—fluffy, wide-eyed, and growing into the sleek seabirds that soar across the open ocean.

As part of Belize’s first marine protected area, Half Moon Caye shelters one of the largest red-footed booby colonies in the Western Hemisphere. Nestled in Ziricote trees, they thrive among the waves and sea breeze.

Protecting marine birds means protecting our oceans.

Checking out a beach at the entrance to the Hamble river in Hampshire, UK as a site for some The Big Microplastic Survey data sampling. Nice clear visible strandline, a few larger stones, but the sediment should be fine. Looking forward to getting some data from this location as it has not as yet been surveyed.

When schools join citizen science projects like the The Big Microplastic Survey, students become real-world scientists—heading to local beaches and waterways to collect, sort, and record microplastics. They learn how to identify pollution types, analyze data, and contribute to a global database that helps researchers understand the scale and sources of microplastics on our beaches.

Want to protect our oceans? Start in the classroom.

When schools join citizen science projects like the The Big Microplastic Survey, students become real-world scientists—heading to local beaches and waterways to collect, sort, and record microplastics. They learn how to identify pollution types, analyze data, and contribute to a global database that helps researchers understand the scale and sources of microplastics on our beaches.

Sleek, fast, and vital to reef ecosystems, the grey reef shark patrols the waters of Half Moon Caye, Belize. 

Growing up to 8 feet long, they help maintain marine balance but face threats from overfishing. Classified as “Vulnerable”, their survival depends on conservation efforts.

Respect, protect, and admire—our oceans need these apex predators. 🐬🌍

On Half Moon Caye, red-footed booby chicks are hatching—fluffy, wide-eyed, and growing into the sleek seabirds that soar across the open ocean.

As part of Belize’s first marine protected area, Half Moon Caye shelters one of the largest red-footed booby colonies in the Western Hemisphere. Nestled in Ziricote trees, they thrive among the waves and sea breeze.

Protecting marine birds means protecting our oceans.

Checking out a beach at the entrance to the Hamble river in Hampshire, UK as a site for some The Big Microplastic Survey data sampling. Nice clear visible strandline, a few larger stones, but the sediment should be fine. Looking forward to getting some data from this location as it has not as yet been surveyed.
