Hello to all, a few clarifications concerning the open position at Reef
Check Belize:
1.. I failed to mention that the successful applicant will be a Belizean,
as we are trying to build up local capacity for our program.
2.. Additionally, the proposed salary may have been a bit misleading as it
is based on the Belizean local scale.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but I wanted to clarify those points and save
some confusion later.
Thanks,
Robyn Woodman
