New Buoys Spotted Inside PHMR

The Port Honduras Marine Reserve is once again at the center of public discussion following the recent installation of boundary buoys within the protected area. Earlier this week, fishermen spotted the newly placed buoys and raised concerns about their locations. One fisherman questioned whether the markers had been installed in the correct positions, believing they were outside the designated boundaries. The issue was brought to the attention of TIDE and Marine Reserve Manager Ryan Moore. Moore explained that the buoys have been reinstalled in the same locations where they were originally placed many years ago. He noted that much of the Port Honduras Marine Reserve has been without boundary markers for more than a decade, which may have contributed to the confusion. Moore also assured stakeholders that the buoys are positioned within the legally designated boundaries. According to the reserve’s regulations, the conservation and preservation zones extend half a mile around the Snake Cayes and Wild Cane Caye. Copies of the regulations confirm these boundary limits.
