In summary, the Project was very successful in Belize. The number ofmeteorological observing stations increased by almost 50%. All stationswere rehabilitated and more than half of the hydrological stations wereautomated. More products of higher quality are disseminated to the public.This has had a positive impact on virtually all segments of the economyof Belize. This is especially true of tourism and agriculture, the toptwo sectors bringing in foreign exchange. A stream of other projects havebeen implemented in Belize, building on the achievements of the Projectof the Isthmus. These include the US Country Studies Climate Change Program,the OAS funded Storm Surge and Flood Plain Mapping Project and a coastalZone project to address sea level rise.
