The goal of this work is to reform the Belizean Constitution to protect the Caribbean Sea and its biodiversity. Oceana is seeking to obtain adoption of a constitutional amendment that will require a binding referendum to provide prior public approval of commercial activities affecting Belize’s oceans or coasts. The project begins by campaigning for a referendum to express public disapproval of any change in the ban on offshore oil drilling.
