If you would like to support scientific research and are sailing in Belize in early 2016, please contact Teresa Carey. Teresa is the director of Hello Ocean, a project that is working with scientist Eric Ramos to map the abundance and distribution of whales and dolphins in the coastal waters of Belize. They will be conducting daily research transects in late winter/early spring. Because underwater microphones are used,

sailboats are the ideal vessel for this research. The expenses associated with these research transects will be covered, and possibly a small payment offered. You can participate in the research, or just be along for the ride. If you love dolphins and want to support a healthy ocean, please contact Teresa. teresacarey003 at gmail dot com.

Vice Commodore, OCC
