Children on Saint Lucia participated in a beach clean-up

WDCS's work in the Caribbean extends beyond the Turks and Caicos. We have many exciting on going projects designed to promote ocean stwardship and marine mammal conservation throughout the Caribbean. One of these programs is "Live Free in the Sea". The ‘Live Free in the Sea' 2008 program educated young people on Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and Tobago about how their actions on land can affect beaches, reefs and marine life. In partnership with ECCN (Eastern Caribbean Cetacean Network), island coordinators partnered with primary and secondary schools to conduct activities under this theme. The program on each island consisted of environmental education, environmental action, and an artistic component (for example, music, performing arts, functional or aesthetic art). Children participated in lectures, discussions and activities on the coastal and marine environment, their inhabitants and how their actions impact them.

Children on Saint Lucia participated in a beach clean-up and glass-bottom boat tour in April 2008 as part of WDCS’s ‘Live Free in the Sea’ education program in the Caribbean Region. Whales and dolphins, sea turtles and coral reefs and mangroves were topics of focus in 2008.
