ST THOMAS, Jamaica — Groups of Jamaicans, such as schools and community organisations, are being encouraged to play a more proactive role in caring for the island’s beaches by making beach clean-up a regular activity.

The call comes from co-chair of the Destination Assurance Council for St Thomas, Travis Smith, while speaking to JIS News on International Coastal Clean-up Day, September 19.

Scores of volunteers representing members of the council as well as students and other organisations joined hands and hearts to clean the Rocky Point Beach in the parish, in commemoration of the annual observance.
