No oil exploration in Belize's offshore and protected areas

Belize has the world's second largest living barrier reef, which is a World Heritage site and protected forest areas which protect important watersheds, providing the country with clean water among other ecosystem services.  

Despite the critical environmental, economic and cultural importance of Belize's offshore and protected areas, the government has parceled off both the offshore and protected areas for oil exploration.  The risks for Belize's offshore and protected areas and those who make their living from these areas are great!
The Belize Coalition to Save our Natural Heritage is advocating for a legal declaration of Belize's offshore and protected areas as off-limits to oil exploration.  

Tell the Government of Belize, no oil exploration in Belize's offshore and protected areas.
