In August this year, I made my way up to Mexico to represent Blue Ventures at the Healthy Reefs Initiative<\/a> (HRI) first annual regional partner meeting. With representatives from Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico, as well as invited experts from the USA, everyone was ready for a very productive few days.<\/p>\n

Updating recommendations and indicators for the 2012 report on reef health and 2013 eco-audit\u00a0were the main topics on the agenda\u00a0(visit www.healthyreefs.org<\/a> to download previous years\u2019 reports). Break-out groups were tasked with different items; ours was sustainability in the private sector, focussing on the promotion of responsible seafood consumption and environmental stewardship in the tourist industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jen presents to the meeting the results of the break-out group discussions \u00a9 TIDE (James Foley)<\/p><\/div>\n

The days were filled with presentations and discussions that melded into evenings occupied by conversations with those names you read at the top of reports, but seldom meet. This \u2018face-time\u2019 was a major highlight of the meeting, allowing the exchange of ideas, experiences and advice with the key players in coral reef conservation for the entire Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.<\/p>\n

Contacts were made, partnerships were strengthened and all the meeting objectives were achieved. Many thanks to HRI for arranging such a successful meeting; we are now all\u00a0looking forward to see the summary of findings in the 2012 report card!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Responsible consumption of seafood was discussed at the meeting, and promoting lionfish as a sustainable alternative to reef fish is an important part of our work in Belize.<\/p><\/div>\n
