Middle Caye is also home to the Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve staff of the Belize Fisheries Department. The land where the ranger station is located is leased by the Belize Fisheries Department for $1 per year from WCS. The purpose of this is to provide a base of operations for the Fisheries Department to manage Glover's Reef Marine Reserve in the interests of the atoll as a whole and all its stakeholders. The ranger station contains an office and residence for the reserve manager, reserve biologist and two reserve rangers.
