The stakeholders included representatives from the Belize Fisheries Department, the National Biodiversity Office, the Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute, Mar Alliance, and private landowners from the Lighthouse Reef Atoll and Turneffe.

Fishermen from Belize City and Chunox also participated in the 2nd advisory committee meeting.

The committee discussed the updates of the management improvements of Blue Hole Natural Monument, Halfmoon Caye Natural Monument, and the greater Lighthouse Reef Atoll Seascape.

Discussions included ways to strengthen stakeholder relationships and obtained feedback and recommendations from members to collectively and sustainably manage the Atoll.

Mar Alliance provided updates on the research activities that they conducted in area 7 as it relates to megafauna sightings and shark research.

Other topics discussed were the camping of fisher folks at Long Caye, the use of the airstrip at Northern Two Caye for evacuation during emergency purposes, development at Northern Two Caye in the upcoming months, and the status of consultations for the development of the Half Moon Caye Natural Monument/ Blue Hole Natural Monument management plan.
