TIDE Protected Areas
The Port Honduras Marine Reserve covers 160 square miles of high biodiversity, with a robust belt of mangroves and sandy coasts that provide a critical link between terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Payne’s Creek National Park covers 36,420 acres in southern Belize; north to the Deep River Forest Reserve, east to Monkey River, the Caribbean Sea and Punta Negra, south to Port Honduras and west to the bank of the Deep River.
As improvements to the Southern Highway of Belize continue, easy access to once remote areas is causing stress to the Toledo District. With massive bulldozers, prime forests are being cleared for agriculture, shrimp farms and logging operations.
