posted (February 4, 2020)
On Friday we told you that the Coast Guard had made a major bust of illegal gillnets and fisheries products. Three fishermen, one Belizean and two Guatemalans were found with the assortment of nets and marine products valued in excess of $40,000.

Well, tonight the Coast Guard is receiving a rare round of congratulations from the Belize Territorial Volunteers with a release today that stated: "W? at the BTV salute the ??l?z? ????t Guard f?r ? ??b w?ll d?n?."

The group also encouraged other Belizeans to keep a watchful eye on our natural resources and call the coast guard when they see something wrong in Belize's waters.

The Coast Guard is currently working with the Fisheries Department and the Belize Port Authority in processing this case.
