They argue that Melissa is not just a natural disaster but a consequence of climate inaction. Dr. Theresa Rodriguez Moodie, CEO of the @jamentrust, weighed in on the discussion. #SmileJamaica #1MorningShow

Land clearance started in the evening of March 3 and they were issued a notice to stop the next day. But the works continued. It happened very quickly.

@jamentrust @CarolNarcisse @dmccaulay @nepajamaica So weird. As this clearly took some time to be done. And at no point during that time no one saw fit to halt the works. Mek it mek sense.

Fort Rocky falls within Conservation Zone B of the P-PRPA. In this Zone the removal or disturbance of sand, dunes, rock, flora, and fauna is explicitly prohibited. Who gave permission for this? @nepajamaica @matthewsamuda @JnhtOfficial @Babsy_grange

Higher fines for breaches are good, but enforcement is key! Jamaica needs updated, streamlined environmental laws to truly protect its natural resources. #EnvironmentalProtection jamaica-gleaner.com/article/letter…

Jamaicans deserve an environmental agency we can trust. The Rio Cobre spill reveals the urgent need for transparency and accountability. Act now: Call for reforms to safeguard our environment. Contact officials and support initiatives for real change! #SaveRioCobre

Environmental justice and protection are non-negotiable. NEPA’s mediation in the Rio Cobre spill case weakens accountability and Jamaica’s environmental safeguards. Act now: Call for transparency and stronger enforcement. Raise your voice and spread awareness! #SaveRioCobre
