Description:"This is the third management plan developed for the Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve, the first being completed in 1996, with a more recent revision in 2004. Over this time period the uses of the protected area and status of the resources have changed, and the knowledge base has improved substantially from the many years of research and data collection carried out since its establishment. Management has changed from the Fisheries Department, to collaborative co-management with the Toledo Association for Sustainable Tourism and Empowerment (TASTE) and most recently, through a merger of TASTE and Friends of Nature (FoN) to form the Southern Environmental Association (SEA). The programmes in this Plan therefore address the current status of the Marine Reserve, as well as reflect the more participatory approach to management being adopted in Belize today. The Management Plan includes general information on the physical and biological attributes of the Marine Reserve, documents the current uses and management problems, defines the goals and objectives of the Marine Reserve, summarizes conservation planning outputs, outlines specific management programmes, including zoning, sets in place the means for measuring management effectiveness, and recommends an implementation schedule format"--Introduction.
