Manatees in Belize: an Earthwatch Expedition

How you can volunteer

EarthwatchEarthwatch
The great people at Earthwatch will help you sign up for the Manatees in Belize expedition. If you decide that this expedition isn't for you, be sure to check out the many other opportunities they offer. I have nothing but praise for this organization and the people who work there.

Sirenian International
Caryn, Katie, and others have started this international organization that supports manatee and dugong research around the world. If you're looking for a way to help manatee research, and an Earthwatch expedition isn't in the cards, contact Caryn at Sirenian International to find out how you can help.

This website also has a wealth of information about dugongs and manatees, research, conservation efforts, and more.

Pictures of Manatees in Belize
Jeff Reese volunteered for Manatees in Belize on the 2001 Team 4. He took many great pictures and has them to share on this website. (The photo to the left is one of Jeff's.)

Spanish Bay Resort
The Spanish Bay Resort, located on the back side of the island, was our host during our two week stay. The people are super friendly, and the rooms neat and clean. If you're looking for the ideal place to get away from it all, try this resort in Belize.
