Community group takes action towards sustainable development
Fishermen from a community in rural Jamaica are can attest to the fact that community action can lead to the achievement of sustainable development.
Founding member of the Bluefields Bay Fishermen’s Friendly Society (BBFFS) Wolde Kristos says the group has been promoting a sustainable environment through educational outreach.
Making a presenting at the 14th Annual Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism during a session titled “Caribbean Sustainable Tourism Good Practices Showcase” Kristos said BBFFS “seeks to educate its members in sustainable fishing practices and develop employment alternatives that will enhance the quality of life and preserve the natural environment of Bluefields.”
They are now on a drive to increase tourist arrival to the area to tour their Sea Fish Sanctuary and also plan to create a Reggae Park under the sea as an added attraction to visitors.
The Caribbean Tourism Organization is a member of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP), a fast-growing grassroots travel and tourism coalition of global destinations committed to quality service and green growth.
