TURNEFFE ATOLL MARINE RESERVE
In November 2012, the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve was officially established. This was the culmination of more the 20 years of work by a number of organizations and countless individuals. Turneffe Atoll Trust led the final efforts and funded the 300-page Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve Management Plan. The development of this plan required many stakeholder consultations encompassing more than 10,000 hours of effort.
