Belize Coral ReefI have just spent the most wonderful day diving in the warm, clear, turquoise waters of the Belize coral reef. It is the second largest reef in the world, behind the Great Barrier Reef, back in Australia. The reef stretches for 300km-the entire length of Belize. I had the opportunity to view a lot of different ranges of sea life-turtles, angel and parrot fish, stingrays and sharks just to name a few- and colourful undersea coral gardens.
The reef is mainly used for tourism and fishing. The locals are very protective of their reef. Permanent moorings have been placed throughout the reef to stop damage to the coral by dropping an anchor. It is a very popular tourist destination-with diving boats dotted all over the water.
