Dushone Lim-Tom, captain of the winning recreational vessel, receives an award for most trash collected by a recreational vessel from Deika Morrison, co-founder of MDK Advisory and Consulting Ltd, at The Great Mangrove Cleanup Trash Tournament on November 9, 2024. 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.
