October 2009 Mooring Bouy placement
White Sands Dive Shop installs more mooring
buoys at the reef.
Hotels and Condominiums on Ambergris allow tourist to visit the reef on Kayaks
and Hobie Cats for snorkeling experiences. When the tourist arrive at the reef
they want to get out of the kayak or hobie cat and snorkel, without... a mooring
to tie to they are tempted to tie to the corals or drop anchor on the reef. The
Mooring Buoys provide an alternative less detrimental to the reef.
Emeliano Rivero, Samuel Lin and Juan
Carlos Montejo pictured above installed new and repaired old buoys at the reef
in front of Las Terrazas and Journeys End Resorts. Juan Carlos said,” The
season is starting and the tourists are coming, we need to protect our reef.”
White Sands Dive Shop wants to help by share information about the benefits of
embedment anchors. "Mooring Buoy Program Planning" To order a copy, call

Beach Cleanup Oct 2009
Aware Kids
In October and November White Sands Dive Shop will be
conducting the AWARE Kids program beginning this Saturday October 17th.
The program is designed for kids 5 through 11 years of age and designed to educate primary students about the
underwater environment.
There are a
total of 5 AWARE Kids... Missions: Kids Clean Up!, Recycling Rocks!, Kids to the
Rescue! (Threatened Underwater Animals), Way Cool Water Conservation! and Speak
Out! each to be conducted on a Saturday.
Saturdays beach cleanup gives kids in the AWARE Kids Program
credit for AWARE Mission 1:
Kids Clean Up! and each will receive a certificate of appreciation from Jenny
Miller Garmendia the director of Project AWARE Foundation. Immediately
following the Beach Cleanup the Kids will be given a Reef Snorkel Experience by
one of White Sands Dive Shops Tour Guides.
White Sands Dive Shops AWARE Kids program is conducted in
conjunction with The Project AWARE Foundation’s Go ECO – Explore,
Conserve, Observe. The campaign adopted a mile of Ambergris Cayes beach.
The mile of beach begins at Las Terrazas/Journeys End Resort and extends
Northward to Mata Grande.
White Sands Dive Shop Manager Emiliano
Rivero commented.” The Beach will be patrolled and cleaned regularly of
plastics and glass with an emphasis placed on not disturbing naturally
occurring beach wash such as sea grasses and drift woods necessary for the
prevention of erosion and support of biodiversity of the area. We are not just
cleaning the beach we are protecting it. This barrier island beach is a part of
the reef system and were going to treat it with the same respect we give the
corals.”
