Lefèt ke pechè yo te vize patiraj espès yo se te yon pwoblèm grav ak efè byen lwen pou sante nan resif Beliz la. Reef-grazers tankou parrotfish jwe yon wòl kritik ekolojik nan resif koray; lè yo manje gwo kantite alg, yo kenbe kwasans li nan chèk, fè sèten ke li pa overgrow Reef la. Alg ka anvayi koray, siprime kwasans yo, epi redwi siksè rekritman yo.

The fact that fishermen were targeting reef-grazing species was a serious problem with far-reaching effects for the health of Belize’s reefs. Reef-grazers such as parrotfish play a critical ecological role within coral reefs; by eating large amounts of algae, they keep its growth in check, making sure that it does not overgrow the reef. Algae can smother corals, stunt their growth, and reduce their recruitment success.
