The beautiful Belize Barrier Reef is the second largest coral reef in the world. Its pristine ecosystem is home to turtles, manatees, crocodiles and many other species. The system is unique due to having an array of different reef types in a relatively small area. As a #unescoworldheritage site, the Belize Barrier Reef has 7 protected areas, aiming to limit the effects of tourism, coastal development, oil and gas exploration and overharvesting of marine resources.
