VOLUNTEERS MAKE DIFFERENCE ON CLEAN-UP DAY
Volunteers were very active on the beaches and coastline in Portland on Saturday, September 21, International Coastal Cleanup Day.
They collected and had carted away tons of garbage, much of it plastic from different beaches across the parish. Much of the garbage was washed down by rivers or simply dumped on the beach.
(Garbage taken from beach at Buff Bay)
In Buff Bay, West Portland, large amounts of garbage was collected by volunteers from the Buff Bay Optimist Club and students and teachers from Liberty Learning Centre.
At Bryan’s Bay, East Portland, volunteers included members of the Lions Club of Port Antonio, staff of the National Water Commission and representatives of the Portland Disaster Risk Management team did the work.
