This initiative, spearheaded by the Kingston Harbour Cleanup Project (KHCP), through its partners, the GraceKennedy Foundation, The Ocean Cleanup, and Clean Harbours Jamaica, aimed to remove legacy waste from the Kingston Harbour’s vital mangrove ecosystems and surrounding beaches. In just under three hours, 21 recreational and fishing vessels carrying over 75 volunteers removed over 18,000 pounds (8,164 kg) of garbage.
