Lionfish in Belize and protecting the water

Every year throughout Belize in the second week in March is celebrated Reef Week. Children and schools are educated about protecting the waters and how to keep them clean. Oceana which is the largest Organization in Belize and international group is a working group to protect the waters of Belize. Today, the organization is fully on its work to protect the famous Barrier Reef and also from destruction of others, overfishing, pollution and oil spilling.

 The Barrier Reef is one of the home and comfort for the different species viewed under water. Some that could be seen is the Parrot Fish, Sting Rays, gamefish - mackerel, kingfish, wahoo, tuna, sailfish and marlin and much more. This fish has a unique look from the outside, But they have stinging venomous spikes, gluttonous pests which are very threatening to humans and the Caribbean sea. Lion-fish will eat whatever they to survive.

For the fishermen they are unfamiliar to this fish and are afraid to catch it or eat it and fear the painful sting. Blue Ventures, are in fight to this fish, which spreads quickly when they are breeding. Lion-fish is a poising fish which is threating the second Barrier Reef in Belize.  For the first in Belize, when the fish was first confirmed to been seen in December 0f 2008, people were surprised to see this kind of fish.  Since 2009 the Organization "Oceana" had been protecting our waters in Belize. One of the problem we had every had is the Lion-fish since its arrival in the Belize waters.

But, the fishermen were told as they see one on the water to just kill it. The only way to keep the number down, is for the fishermen to  catch the fish without being stung and remove the meat and prove the restaurants owners to serve them. A market for Lion-Fish  are intenting to be created to sell this fish to save the Reef by Jennifer Chapman of Blue Ventures.

In San Pedro which is mostly seen swimming along the waters, the ECOMAR worked together with the Belize Fisheries Department in 2008, to raise funds to decrease the number of Lionfish in Belize. A monthly meeting are made for tournaments and workshops to limit the amount of the fish and catching tour guides and fishermen how to kill and use this fish.

BTB in search for its fourth director

In the last five years below the UDP in General, the BTB  had to change four chairman. Likewise, they had switched through the third CEO and its fourth Director. Michael Singh who was denied a renewal contract was one of the least person like and replaced with the laziness of  Lindsay Garbutt.
Minister of Tourism Manuel Herredia has not explained correctly on how his fleet tourism institution is once more Tumult. The (BTB) Belize Tourism Board is finding for their fourth tourism responsible  person after six years under Manuel Heredia's guidance through his leadership.

The Minister's appearance were agitation but, as usual, the strength in speaking with the sense when he was interviewed about the interior argument at BTB in which the average in the Director Laura Esquivel Frampton pressed out of her post. Herredia was redeemed by seven senior managers forced employees  who felt that his political agreement of Esquivel Frampton as head of BTB was horrible chosen.

"In a critical letter calling for the head of the BTB Director, the highest rank managers forced Herredia to face whatever political consequence came his way by discarding Esquivel Frampton, who is the daughter of former Prime Minister Manuel Esquivel. A worse choice was not to welcome a scenario", the managers told Herredia.

The letter was secretly showed to the media when Minister Manuel Heredia Jr. was asked on Wednesday  when the decision that was best chosen was denied at any knowledge that the letter was in existence or he knew at any problem with Esquivel Frampton.

Yet, Heredia discharged himself and uncover himself as either a liar or unaware Minister. 99% he does not know what is going on the news source. He did not saw any of the letter being sent to him and was not alerted that it was their in existence. He said " It could be a playfully cause by the letter.

But Herredia shot himself in the foot and exposed himself as either a liar or a clueless Minister.
Herredia claimed that he had not seen the letter that was sent to him and that he does not watch the evening news 99% of the time, so he wasn’t aware that it even existed. He said the letter could be the making of “mischief”. Yet the Minister boasted that he is “always on top” of everything going on in his Ministries and that he addresses issues “as soon as possible with the least possible consequence”.
Herredia also appeared nonchalant about the uprising against his appointed Tourism Director because as far as he knows Esquivel-Frampton had impeccable integrity.
But the letter itself points out that the serious problems with Esquivel-Frampton have been simmering for some time. The Directors indicate that their issues with Esquivel-Frampton have existed from as far back as July last year and that it does involve her management of BTB finances.
So how could Herredia who is “always on top” of things not have become aware of the festering internal battles at the vital Tourism organization?
Even more alarming is that the BTB is now in need of its 5^th Director in just six short years. The UDP curse on BTB continues. Executive officials only last a year or so there. On September 23^rd, 2011, BTB Director Seleni Matus abandoned her BTB post and hurriedly left to the United States, following exposure of lavish spending by former Tourism CEO Lindsay Garbutt. Before Matus, other high officials were either booted or simply left including once Deputy Chairman Santiago Castillo and Stanley Longsworth who were both fired in such a dramatic manner that Santi described it as “like a thief in the night”.

Territory claim between Guatemala and Belize

Old Map

 Did you know Guatemala came to Arbitrate Territory?

  If you had a border dispute with Honduras from 1843 to 1933, many incidents, Honduras intended to near the Rio Dulce, conflict was defined legal arguments through an arbitration tribunal's award Hughes is an arbitral award of a special court limits in 1933 settled the border issue between Guatemala and Honduras. obviously the case as Guatemala Gano, this is the story to see that there are records that show that if you can win this type of case, see the old map of Honduras.

Spain recognized Independence of Guatemala until 1859 1863 treaty which is invalid. When celebrated treaty of Cession Territorial in 1859 between Guatemala and England where it was established that in exchange for territory a road from Guatemala City to Port Belize city , the Government of Spain had not yet acknowledged that Guatemala was an independent State, was built He recognized various administrative reasons until May 29, 1863 . By that act His Catholic Majesty recognized as free, sovereign and independent nation of the Republic of Guatemala , and resigned in all forms and for all , for himself and his successors , the sovereignty , rights and actions that corresponded about Guatemala. It confirmed the independence proclaimed on 15 September 1821 and signed on July 1, 1823 .

 And this has to do with our Territory of Belize?

under international law to which they had agreed to abide colonialist or imperialist nations , including England and Spain , a nation could not be treated as a sovereign and independent state to a colony of another nation , except this other nation officially recognized that the colony had already become a sovereign and independent state. In particular, if Guatemala was still a Spanish colony, and the Government of England or the Government of Guatemala had the power to enter into any treaty limits , and limits any agreement concluded before 1863 had necessarily had no legal validity.

I mean that Boundary treaty signed with Britain in 1859 the territory of Belize input we can argue legal disability . Guatemala clear this treaty declared obsolete by Default , but imagine that the Belize Constitution based its territorial limits in the treaty which specifically mentioned , so we insist Legal arguments exist and sufficient.
