MFA Sets the Record Straight on Corona Reef
On Tuesday, environmental activists Giovannie Brackett and Wil Maheia spoke out against government, following a joint release issued by the Ministry of Blue Economy, the Fisheries Department and TIDE last week, in respect of the Corona Reef. Brackett and Maheia argue that TIDE researchers should not seek permission from Guatemalan authorities to conduct scientific surveys in the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve since, according to them; it is in Belize’s territorial waters.

We were also informed that it is customary for TIDE to notify fisheries and coast guard personnel ahead of their visits
