And now that the government isn't so busy with elections, they'll have time for other issues affecting the nation, like Angelfish Caye. We reported that this caye, known to the locals as Will Bauer Flats, is essential for Belize's fly fishing industry. Today the Minister of Natural Resources said the project is on pause, but the developers haven't given up.

"The last I heard on that was that the developers were going to seek to have a conversation with the fly fishers and try to convince them. But they're going to do the heavy lifting, it's their interest, and they're going to do the heavy lifting, we'll wait and see how that goes and then, you know, we've been locked in elections and so Cabinet has not had a chance to sit and go over it comprehensively and make a determination going forward but as it is right now, it's on pause."
