The People Behind This Guide
The following CEDAM Int'l 1987 Belize expeditioners donated their
time and talents in gathering information for this guide:
Dr. Jacque Carter is a Research Fellow with Wildlife Conservation
International (WCI), the New York Zoological Society's global field
research program. WCI is supporting 82 endangered species and
habitat projects in 34 countries. For more information on WCI,
write: WCI, NYZS, Bronx, NY 10406 USA.
We also appreciate the efforts of our editorial advisor Robert M. .Sammon for his input on this guide. Photographs in this guide were taken by Rick Sammon on Fuji film. Sponsored by the Griffis Foundation A Word About This Guide
For several years, leading conservation groups worked to set
aside the Hol Chan area, off Ambergris Caye, as an underwater
park. These groups included Wildlife Conservation International
(WCI), a division of the New York Zoological Society (NYZS), World
Wildlife Fund, U.S. Agency for International Development, the
Peace Corps, the Belize Department of Fisheries (Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) and the Belize Audubon
Society.
In 1986, CEDAM International became aware of a WCI/NYZS
plan for the park. Shortly thereafter, we mobilized an expedition to
Hol Chan in the hope of obtaining photographs for a guide book to
this area. The expedition was directed by Dr. Carter of WCI. It was
led by CEDAM International member Dale Moore.
The photographs and data in this guide are a result of that
expedition. The text was compiled from the WCI plan, written by
Janet Gibson.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Hol Chan. Safe Diving.
