By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association (TASA) field staff conducted a boat-to-boat outreach from July 11-14.

TASA said the five-day outreach was done “to familiarize our Turneffe Fishers with the current and newly updated replenishment zones for the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve”.

According to TASA their conservation officers met fishers from various fishing camps, skiffs, and sailboats and informed them of the new legislation they must now comply with.

“This recent event marks the start of a series of boat-to-boat and community outreach activities that TASA will be undertaking over the next six months,” said TASA.

“This campaign seeks to ensure that fishers understand the changes, importance, and impact that the new regulations for the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve will have on their fishing activities.”
