Meet the Ocean Country Partnership Programme Scholars Belize 2024.

The OCPP Scholarships Belize, funded through the UK’s Blue Planet Fund, supported emerging marine scientists from Belize to undertake postgraduate study and research in marine science. Hosted by University of Belize, the programme helped scholars develop the knowledge and skills needed to address marine environmental challenges and contribute to the sustainable management of marine resources in Belize.
