SILVER SANDS, Trelawny — Vendors told to vacate Jacob Taylor Beach in Trelawny may be allowed to return and share the space with fisherfolk once the property is upgraded by the Natural Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA).

In a media release Wednesday the NRCA detailed a long-running battle to regularise operations at the venue after it was rehabilitated in 2003.

According to the NRCA, the goal was to have a model public beach that is well-maintained, environmentally responsible, and freely accessible.
