Dear Valued Stakeholders and Members of the General Public:

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve ["HCMR"], hereby notifies the General Public that the Marine Reserve will be closed to Visitation as of today, Friday, August 7th, 2020 until further notice. This is in line with the State of Emergency placed on Ambergris Caye by the Government of Belize.

We would like to thank our Stakeholders, the Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker Communities for their valued cooperation in the past. We now ask you to continue cooperating with us as we deal with the COVID-19 Pandemic. The HCMR Board of Trustees and Management Team encourages everyone to follow the Health and Safety Protocols issued by the Ministry of Health. Kindly wash your hands and sanitize as often as possible and remember to always wear your mask.
