Healthy ocean, healthy planet
IN observance of World Oceans Day — Monday, June 8 — Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International, took the message of ocean preservation to some 600 students across 12 schools in the territories in which it operates in the Caribbean.
The sessions focused on the various ways mankind uses or benefits from the ocean, the practices or phenomena that threaten it, and what can be done to protect it.
Among the Jamaican schools that participated were Jones Town Primary in Kingston; John Rollins/Success Primary, Chetwood Memorial Primary and St James High in St James; Cove Primary in Hanover; Ocho Rios Primary in St Ann, and Mearnsville All-Age School in Westmoreland.
Cedar Grove Primary in Antigua, Christ Church Girls’ School in Barbados, Gros Islet Primary in St Lucia, Westerhall Secondary in Grenada, and Enid Capron Primary in Turks and Caicos were also part of the Caribbean-wide event.
