Volunteers from Sandals Resorts International, Sandals Foundation and The University of the West Indies Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory gather to plant mangrove seedlings at the Salt Marsh.

 

Team members of Sandals Resorts International (SRI), in partnership with The University of the West Indies (UWI), recently planted mangrove seedlings in Salt Marsh, Trelawny, as the resort company continued its observance of World Ocean Day and World Environment Day.

The initiative forms part of a larger joint project to conserve mangroves across western Jamaica.

Organised by the resort company’s environment, health and safety division, the Sandals Foundation and UWI Discovery Bay Marine Lab, the day’s activity saw volunteers gathered at the Salt Marsh Mangrove in Trelawny for the planting exercise.
