SE4 EP117 "Crocodiles up the Sittee River...!?" Sailing Belize

In this Episode; WARNING: Footage at the end of the video might be DISTURBING to some. In this Episode; Amazing Drone aerial footage of some of the gorgeous Islets and Cays near the Belizean barrier reef. Exploring mangrove estuaries in the Sittee River where some say Crocodiles lurk and amazing underwater footage of the coral reefs and tropical fish at the Belizean barrier reef. WARNING: Footage at the end of the video might be DISTURBING to some. I felt compelled to share (at the end of the video) some of the frustration we feel with regards to the amounts of plastic trash we come across while out exploring remote areas of the Caribbean. The footage might be disturbing to some. Every windward beach in Belize on the islands we visited were in a similar situation, but it's a problem throughout the Caribbean. I've shared the Caribbean's plastic problem in the past in smaller doses, but the Barrier reef of Belize is a World Heritage site and the World needs to know what is happening to it. I think the reasons it's so prevalent in Belize is because of the prevailing Trade Winds. Trade Winds push West and Belize is the final stopping point. Plastic trash out here is a sad problem. It's more than just unpleasant to see, small pieces of plastic bags are seen as jelly fish to Turtles, many fish are filter feeders including the giant Whale Shark and as plastic breaks down into smaller pieces fish are ingesting it... Plastic. It's becoming a bigger problem for Belize. Because of the constant push West from the Trade Winds the windward sides of the islands we visited were covered in plastic trash.
