STORY - Fishing in Belize, Diverse & Exciting fisheries
The variety and quantity of fish in Belize is a result of the diversity of aquatic habitats that support them. The barrier reef is the most important, providing shelter and food for a huge variety of crustaceans and reef fish which in turn attract larger predatory fish. The reef also breaks the strong ocean currents producing calm sheltered waters for fish. The country’s second virtue is freshwater rivers and their brackish estuaries which are often used by fish to spawn before moving out into the sea. These nutrient-rich rivers also dump a wealth of bio-mass into the sea which forms the base of the food-chain that supports larger game fish. The sub-tropical climate maintains water temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit which is just right for literally hundreds of fish species as well. This rich mixture of sandy beaches, barrier islands, intercoastal waterways, seagrass beds, mangrove-studded bays, salt marshes and estuaries is what makes fishing in Belize so diverse. It is important to bear in mind that there are many variables that affect fish movement and their propensity to feed such as tides, moon phases, water temperature and wind.
