The results and outcomes are expected to be:

1. A conference/workshop on the marine biodiversity of Belize which will emphasize the huge amount of information that is available on this topic, but of which there is little awareness in Belize;
2. A DVD to increase awareness and access to the SeaLifeBase database documenting the marine biodiversity of Belize;
3. A media ‘blitz’ to go along with the conference, which will make Belizeans more aware of their marine biodiversity, the important role that it fulfills in their tourism-driven economy and which would be put at risk by oil drilling.
