Description:"The Caye Caulker and Bacalar Chico Marine Reserves are two reserves in a network intended to protect coral reef ecosystems and associated marine resources of Belize. Ecological, Socioeconomic and Governance evaluations were conducted for both marine reserves from 2007-2009 following accepted international and local guidelines. These evaluations revealed that the fish and benthic communities within various zones of both reserves were similar to control sites; however, patch reefs within the Caye Caulker Marine Reserve appeared to be in better condition than those of Bacalar Chico, but reef fish resources of the Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve were more abundant than those of the Caye Caulker Marine Reserve"--Executive summary.
