In the words of Hon. Andre Perez Minister of Blue Economy and Civil Aviation " Our Blue Space Represents Belize's most promising economic development, it is the foundation for coastal development, tourism, fishing, shipping, and it provides critical ecosystem services that help us mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. In the not so distant future our ocean will support emerging economic sectors in Belize such as marine renewable energy, marine biotechnology , sustainable fisheries, and eco tourism. Together we will continue to contribute to our growing Blue Space.
