By Aaron Humes: Coastal Awareness Week kicked off today in Belize City.
It is an initiative of the Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute, whose CEO, Chantalle Clarke-Samuels, said the emphasis this year was on “climate-proofing” the coast.
Samuels also reported that the Cabinet decided to adopt an important plan for coastal management.
With several coastal communities, including Belize City and Dangriga, facing sewage problems, Samuels says attention will be paid to this emerging concern.
Coastal Awareness Week continues until February 27.
