On Saturday, October 9, we will host the Fifth Annual Youth Conservation Competition, where youths compete for Associate Degree Scholarships by making stage presentations on the theme, ‘The Value of Biodiversity’. This competition allows the audience to learn about the work of participating organizations and to appreciate the value of biodiversity.
The Eighth Annual Fish Fest kicks off on Sunday October 10 at the TIDE Compound with an early morning fishing tournament in the Port Honduras Marine Reserve. This year the tournament will promote sustainable fishing of fin fish species and for the first time, Sport Fishing.
