This could be related to more exposure to hurricane damage and the resultant retreat of mangroves off the seaward-facing southern and eastern coasts.

Holocene Sea-Level History of Belize Our calibrated sea-level database consisting of *4C-dated mangrove peat and associated Halimeda sands from Twin Cays basically agrees with the Toscano and Macintyre (2003) corrected western Atlantic sea-level curve (Fig. 6). However, a publication by Gischler and Hudson (2004) introduced a sea-level curve for Belize that is considerably elevated above the western Atlantic sea-level curve.
