By Aaron Humes: Belize’s fishermen and others who enjoy the marine bounty are being asked to be more careful about their usage as part of a program sponsored by the Fisheries Department.

Fisheries Administrator Beverly Wade explained that this is to safeguard continued access and allow favored species to replenish themselves.
