Sandals Foundation rallies big turnout for International Coastal Cleanup Day

CONTINUING its mission to create and maintain a sense of environmental stewardship among community members, the Sandals Foundation rallied more than 700 volunteers across Jamaica, Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, The Bahamas, Curaçao, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for the largest one-day volunteer event in the world — International Coastal Cleanup Day (ICCD).

Across western Jamaica, 150 volunteers collected more than 1,500 pounds of solid waste from local coastal landscapes, reinforcing their commitment to marine conservation and community activism.

Volunteers from Sandals Resorts International, the Scotia Foundation, Sangster’s International Airport, and Negril Chamber of Commerce came together at the Whitehouse Marine Sanctuary, Whitehouse Beach, Rio Nuevo Beach and Negril Beach for the clean-up.
