The Department of the Environment Friday evening in a 1st update on the Belize River fish kill stretching 17.5 miles from Isabella Bank to Grace Bank, informed the cause remains unidentified.

Thus far, the DOE has conducted visual observations and water quality assessments from Banana Bank upstream of Santander Sugar through to the Burrell Boom bridge. It is also assessing discharge points and activity near the river.

The DOE’s preliminary tests show multiple conditions that can harm aquatic life, including extremely low levels of dissolved oxygen in affected areas, along with elevated conductivity, chlorophyll‑a, and turbidity. Samples have been sent for laboratory analysis to help pinpoint the cause.

The DOE has also collected water samples from the Santander Farms drainage system and downstream sites for chemical testing, while fish and sediment samples are being analyzed for possible contaminants. Satellite imagery is also being reviewed to track changes in water conditions and land‑clearing activities that may have contributed to the event .At this stage, the Department says no responsible party has been identified.

The investigation continues, and the DOE says conclusions will depend on laboratory results and the full body of scientific evidence.The DOE’s precautionary advisory issued August 5 remains in effect. The public is urged not to consume fish or use untreated river water for drinking, cooking, or livestock until further notice.

The advisory applies only to untreated river water and does not affect potable water supplied by Belize Water Services Limited.

The Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry's (BCCAR) Online Business Registry System (OBRS) has been hacked.

Unauthorized access was detected on August 4 during routine maintenance. The system was taken offline August 5 to prevent further intrusion.

No evidence was found that the core registry database or official records were altered, deleted, or compromised. However, some application documents containing non‑public information may have been viewed or downloaded.

All suspect accounts have been disabled, and an external cybersecurity specialist is helping with the probe.

According to the Registry, credit card data is not stored in the OBRS and was therefore not affected.

BCCAR expects to restore the online service by Monday, August 10, once corrective work and security testing are complete.

Users are urged to stay alert to suspicious emails or texts claiming to be from the Registry and avoid sharing passwords or identity documents in response to unsolicited requests.
