Crocodile Rescue and Release in Ambergris Caye with ACES - LeAw in Belize
In this episode we had the pleasure to met ACES (American Crocodile Education Sanctuary) when they were heading out to capture a crocodile who was caught in their trap in Belize! We documented the humane capture and release of this 7.5 foot female American Crocodile, named Sparkles, who was hanging out a little too close to people in the ocean on Ambergris Caye. This crocodile ended up being larger than initially reported and was hunting in the middle of the day which is unusual for this crepuscular species. Given the density of resorts and homes in the area, the decision was made to relocate this beautiful lady farther away from people.
Thank you to ACES, Chris Summers, Christina Manzi and Ciaran O' Mordha to shed light on these very misunderstood creatures and teaching people safe coexistence for the preservation of the species for generations to come!
ACES is a non-profit organization permitted by the Belize Forest Department and dedicated to the conservation of Belize's critical wetland habitats and protected species, specifically Crocodilians, through scientific research and education to preserve wildlife for future generations.
Please help the organization and donate.

Special thanks to CHRIS SUMMERS and CHRISTINA MANZI.
CHRIS SUMMERS Originally from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, Chris is a long-time Belize resident with native ties.

CHRISTINA MANZI
Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Christina started as a volunteer with ACES in 2016. She came to Belize to assist in opening a skydiving center on Ambergris Caye. While doing so, she became fascinated with the wildlife and ecosystem and found herself excitedly volunteering her time to ACES. Her first experience working with crocodiles just happen to coincide with moving day for Jaws, a permanently injured captive croc who was being transported to his permanent home in the sanctuary. When she was instructed to JUMP! on the back of Jaws, she leapt wholeheartedly into a new chapter in her life.
Christina has been trained by Chris and Vince in crocodile wrangling, behavior, biology, scientific data collection, and safe croc handling techniques. After five months of volunteering, Christina decided to move permanently to Belize to aid ACES in our mission to protect and preserve crocodilians. She is currently volunteering full-time to increase ACES’s online presence, marketing, fundraising, education, and public relations. Christina additionally aids Chris with croc rescues, relocations, research, education, and official training courses, in addition to photographing crocs every chance she gets.
Enjoy the ride with us! ;)

Manatee encounter, shallow waters of Caye Caulker, Belize 2017
We have been looking for manatees all over the world for 20 years. Suddenly they were there - right in front of us – in the shallow waters outside Caye Caulker in Belize.
We booked with French Angel (frenchangelexp.com). Hospital and competent dive instructors with a very good knowledge of the local reefs and waters.
At Caye Caulker we stayed with our big family of 4 children and 2 adults in the “yellow cottage” at Weezies Ocean Front Hotel and Garden Cottages ( Lovely cottage with a very nice pool.

Caye Caulker Belize
Caye Caulker is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea measuring about 5 miles (8.0 km) (north to south) by less than 1 mile (1.6 km) (east to west). The town on the island is known by the name Caye Caulker Village.
Caye Caulker is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north-northeast of Belize City, and is accessible by high-speed water taxi or small plane. In recent years the island has become a popular destination for tourists. There are over 30 tiny hotels, and a number of restaurants and shops.
The island is basically a sand bar over a limestone shelf. Underwater caves are found in the limestone (which have claimed the lives of several scuba divers exploring them). In front of the village, a shallow lagoon, between 6 inches (150 mm) and 14 feet (4.3 m) deep, meets the Belize Barrier Reef to the east. Tour guides take pride in taking visitors to premier snorkel and dive sites just off shore. Caye Caulker's Shark Ray Alley puts adventures in chest deep water alongside curious Southern Sting Rays, Nurse Sharks and schools of colourfull fish.

Belize Channel Fishing: Near Caye Caulker
Belize channel fishing offered a break from our permit hunting. 1/4 ounce wobble-head jigs/Shimano/Cabelas/Okuma and PowerPro were our equipment choices. Ask your guide to offer a scenic trip through these often overlooked fishing opportunities.
