In this episode of The Sustainable Angler, I inerview Wil Flack of BelizeFly and we talk about everything from catching the travel bug and how Wil sailed all over the world; environmental threats to our fisheries such as climate change, plastic pollution, and in Belize, gill nets; and also some success stories such as how the country of Belize has banned single-use plastics, are working on banning gill nets and has designated bonefish, tarpon and permit as catch-and-release only. We also chat about how mangroves provide natural climate solutions and about some of the sustainability initiatives Wil has executed at his lodge and shop. Hope you enjoy!
