A branded “moving classroom” was launched on Friday to take marine conservation and ocean management discussions directly into communities, as officials seek to deepen public engagement with the Barbados Marine Spatial Plan and its impact on daily life.

The initiative was unveiled at the Garrison, where Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Environment Santia Bradshaw said the branded bus would help bring conversations about the country’s marine future deep into communities across the island.
