JET leads second cleanup of Refuge Cay, urges urgent action on plastic pollution
On Saturday, February 24, 2024, the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) conducted its second cleanup of Refuge Cay, which marked a continuation of their efforts following an earlier cleanup in October 2023. Supported by 76 volunteers from Port Royal and the University of the West Indies Port Royal Marine Lab, the group removed 15,603 pounds of garbage, including refrigerators, toilets and tyres. The cleanups were done as part of a project being funded by the UNDP implemented Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) with additional funding from TeamSeas.
