Friends of Swallow Caye
Friends of Swallow Caye (FOSC) is a community based non-profit conservation association focused on the protection of manatees
in the Swallow Caye area. The group was organized in 1996 to promote the designation of this area as a Wildlife Sanctuary.
The mission of FOSC is "to safe guard the future of manatees by reducing threats to their health and their habitat."
FOSC has active members from Belize City, Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye and its office is located on Caye Caulker. These
members lobbied for the establishment of the Sanctuary. Success came in July 2002, when the Hon. Minister of Natural Resources
signed the statutory instrument declaring the Swallow Caye Wildlife Sanctuary.
SCWS will serve to protect the manatees and other marine life that call this habitat home. It will also ensure that those
groups, who use the area for acquiring revenues or for recreational purposes, will enjoy it for generations to come.
Please click here for information on the development at North Drowned Caye/Stake Bank. This project is adjacent to Swallow
Caye Wildlife Sanctuary.
