About Program
With the Marine Ecology Program, you’ll have the chance to explore and learn about the rich ecosystems in Belize firsthand. You’ll begin your adventure at the Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society (T.R.E.E.S.) research station. You’ll contribute to terrestrial research projects including neotropical bat surveys and herpetology studies. From there, you’ll head to an island where you’ll explore the biodiverse Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest reef in the world. Throughout your experience, you’ll explore, and ultimately help protect, these critical ecosystems.
