Eloy Jr. is from a small coastal town of 200 people just south of Placencia, Monkey River. He has been commercially fishing for conch, lobster and fish since a very young age. Eloy Jr. went on several trips with his dad, where he gained experience and knowledge about spawning various fish and tagging whale sharks, among others. Eloy Jr. believes that sustainable fishing can provide a better and brighter future for Belize.
