Travel Tree Country: BELIZE, GUATEMALA, HONDURAS, MEXICO Marine Conservation and Diving Expedition REQUEST MORE INFORMATION »» Global Vision International 3 High Street St Albans Herts UNITED KINGDOM AL3 4ED Phone: 01727 250 250 www.gvi.co.uk Program description: This roving marine conservation expedition is ideal for anyone with previous diving experience. Scuba dive in a variety of spectacular locations while you contribute to the protection of vital coral reefs. Once you’ve mastered the monitoring techniques and performed some research dives in Mexico, you will begin your travels to Guatemala, Honduras and Belize where you will dive in the warm Caribbean waters. At each stop you will collect data and contribute to research on the increasingly threatened Meso-American Barrier Reef. Along the way you will have the opportunity to go on a range of adventure side-trips, including visiting Mayan ruins, exploring caves and even toasting marshmallows on the lava of an active volcano! *How this program makes a difference* All the countries involved in this expedition have coral reefs which form a vital part of their coastal ecosystem. The reefs provide food and a source of income to many diverse peoples and indigenous groups, but due to population increases and the rapid growth of tourism, these coastal areas and habitats are in danger of being degraded to a point of no return. The research dives and data obtained are used to raise awareness of the plight of the reefs and influence use and policy decisions.
