Oceana's September Celebrations Message

Oceana has a great little commercial out for the September Celebrations, and to say 'Happy Independence Day" to everyone.  Their 'one goal' is commendable.

 

"Many Faces! Many Dreams! One Goal!  Protecting Belize's Sea and Reef from Offshore Oil Drilling.  Happy September Celebrations Belize!  And a Happy Independence day to all!  From Oceana!"

Vote at the Peoples' Referendum to Stop Offshore Drilling.

The Belize Tourism Industry Association is pleading for everyone to vote on February 29th at the Peoples' Referendum to Stop Offshore Drilling.  "Tourism accounts for 1 in 5 jobs in Belize.  Once they drill on the reef, Belize will be spoilt, and those jobs will go somewhere else."

Resounding 'NO!' from People's Referendum mentioned on Huffington Post

Resounding 'NO!' from People's Referendum mentioned on Huffington Post | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Ted Danson discusses the People's Referendum, and the plight to stop oil exploration on the largest living barrier reef in the world.

 

"What the government underestimated, though, was the determination of Belize's people to be heard. In response to the government's referendum denial, Oceana Belize and the Coalition to Save Our Natural Heritage hosted a "People's Referendum" the week before the elections at over 51 polling stations with election judges. Almost 30,000 Belizeans turned out to cast their votes, with 96 percent of them voting no to offshore drilling. The message couldn't have been clearer."
