KINGSTON, Jamaica — Iberostar Hotels & Resorts says its partnership in the Grange Pen Fish Sanctuary is supporting the restoration of Jamaica’s marine ecosystems while creating employment opportunities for surrounding communities.

The hotel group highlighted the initiative during the Sustainable Blue Economy Conference in Jamaica, where tourism officials, policymakers and conservation specialists discussed ways to protect marine resources while supporting economic development.

Established in 2025, the Grange Pen Fish Sanctuary covers approximately 3.3 million square metres. It is being developed through a partnership involving Iberostar, the Oracabessa Marine Trust, local fishing communities and government agencies.
