Empower Jamaican Fishermen to Restore Marine-Life

Empower Jamaican Fishermen to Restore Marine-Life

Organization information

White River Marine Association

Location: Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Summary

At the White River Fish Sanctuary (the WRFS) we recognize that our best chance of restoring fish populations and coral reefs is to partner with those persons most connected to the Sea: local fishermen. By protecting 150 acres of marine space in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, the WRFS has provided fishermen with meaningful work as wardens (10) and coral gardeners (2) since 2017. With your support, the fishermen can continue their new found passion while providing opportunities for the community.
