From Turneffe Atoll Trust:
Dear Fly Fishing Industry,
I am going to ask for a moment of your time regarding something that is incredibly important for the future of our industry and the future of saltwater marine environments in the Caribbean.
We aren’t asking for any money, but we need your voice of support! As an esteemed member of the fly fishing industry, you are no doubt concerned by the mounting threats against coastal ecosystems around the globe. The future of saltwater angling depends on the integrity of places such as Turneffe Atoll, Belize – the largest and most biologically diverse atoll in the Western Hemisphere.
Nearly a decade ago, Turneffe Atoll Trust was formed to help implement an environmental success story, one in which a globally significant ecosystem gained protection before an environmental crisis hit. Turneffe Atoll is currently healthy and as of yet, does not need to be fixed. What it urgently needs, however, is protection and management so it doesn’t fall victim to further improper development, unsustainable commercial activities, and environmental degradation.
The great news is that this goal is within reach because the Government of Belize has recently how to buy alprazolam online indicated it is prepared to formally designate a new Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve. An achievement of this magnitude bodes well not only for the future of Belize, but also for all who have a stake in marine conservation and saltwater fisheries throughout the Caribbean basin. This is why I am asking you to help with a final push towards making this dream a reality.
By sending an email to me at [email protected] with three (3) quick and simple pieces of information, you will be added as an endorser to a letter asking the Belizean Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture for the creation of a Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve (see the letter here):
1. Name of your business / organization
2. Name and title of individual signing on behalf of business / organization
3. Your City, State, and Country
If all goes as planned, our goal is to celebrate this victory by the end of January 2012. Your support is key to making this happen, and we very much appreciate your time and your endorsement!
Best regards,
Paul D. Robertson
Executive Director
Turneffe Atoll Trust
