Mr. Flack is one of the most environmentally conscious persons on the island and he has done tremendous work and efforst in the protection of our environment and endangered marine species in Belize. He is probably one of the most proactive fishermen/residents on the island and his involvement in our community is very much appreciated. He has done more for our environment than most residents of Ambergris Caye. These are the kind of people that we should be welcoming into out Isla Bonita as opposed to money hungry foreigners who just want to reap from our resources and not give back to our country.
