Celso is with Blue Ventures Conservation in Belize. We work with Celso to help bring tools to better control the lionfish populations throughout belize.

Belize’s marine environment encompasses some of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the Caribbean Sea, including vast coral reefs, mangrove forests and seagrass beds. Blue Ventures has maintained a permanent presence in Belize since 2010, supporting diverse fisheries and conservation efforts.

They work in close partnership with the Belize Fisheries Department, MPA managers, fishing cooperatives and fishers’ associations, and championed the establishment of a national scale domestic fishery targeting the invasive lionfish.  They are actively promoting community led fisheries management, building on the success of our pioneering work with management of invasive lionfish.
