Belize, then, was a major exporter of shrimp. The nation exported close to BDZ$100 million worth of shrimp. Unfortunately, the industry was hit with early mortality syndrome, and shrimps became contaminated. The industry collapsed, and the country lost millions in shrimp exports. That is, 94 or 95 million pounds of shrimp, to the point where production has barely been enough to meet local demand.

Proposals will be accepted by email only and should include the subject found in the respective bid form.

The industry has been laying dormant since then. But, the economic distress of Belize has forced Belmopan to take up the cudgels.

Briceño

Apart from ensuring that Government of Belize meets all conservation commitments outlined in the Blue Loan and Conservation Funding Agreements, the Blue Bond and Finance Permanence Unit (BBFP) alongside the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is tasked with ensuring the successful design and development of an innovative new financing model: Project Finance for Permanence (PfP). Belize’s PfP will focus on the protection, conservation, and sustainable use of Belize’s coastal and marine ecosystems; the first coastal and marine PfP globally.

The PfP is an approach or single initiative that secures important policy changes, and all funding necessary to meet specific conservation goals of a program over a defined long-term timeframe, with the aim of achieving the ecological, social, political, organizational, and financial sustainability of that program.

Currently, Belize is in the design phase of its PfP, which includes defining the conservation goals, funding targets and other key components through an all-inclusive approach.

Belize’s PfP will stand to leverage the success of the country’s historic Blue Bond by enhancing the protection of our coastal and marine resources for the well-being of all Belizeans. It also is worth noting that PFP is part of the Blue Bond Unit which is itself is under the Office of the Prime Minister.
