WHITE RIVER FISH SANCTUARY
The White River Fish Sanctuary (WRFS) is dedicated to catalysing change in the wider White River area and is committed to caring for our marine eco-system. Through our “Protect- Restore-Engage” priorities we work to restore our coral reefs, hold those who harm the environment accountable, and educate and engage community members to experience and appreciate marine life within the sanctuary.
The White River Fish Sanctuary is committed to honouring the responsibility we have to care for marine life. Whether it’s through reef restoration, public education or holding those who harm the environment accountable – we are dedicated to change. What started as a collaboration between hoteliers, activists, and local fishermen has transformed into a community of passionate individuals dedicated to preserving our aquatic environment.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the White River Fishermen’s Association (WRFA) and the White River Marine Association (WRMA) were formed. These entities later joined forces to create The White River Fish Sanctuary, which now provides a safe haven for fish to produce millions of offspring in a 150-hectare “no-take” zone. These waters stretch from Prospect Plantation in St. Mary to Carib/Hermosa Cove in Ocho Rios, St. Ann, providing a secure habitat for aquatic life to thrive.
We came together with a common goal: to help restore marine life, rebuild coral, and safeguard the coastline from the effects of climate change. This endeavour not only benefits the local community but also enhances the experiences of tourists and residents alike. We are eager to forge collaborative partnerships and work together toward our common goals.
Following our motto, “Protect-Restore-Engage”, we strive to protect the sanctuary with the goal of preserving marine life and restoring the livelihoods of the local fishing community.
We recognize that none of this would be possible without the incredible community surrounding us, which is why we rely on your support. Vision Statement - Our motto, “Protect-Restore-Engage“: is all about taking action to restore and protect the marine ecosystem of the White River, both on land and sea. We’re dedicated to making a real difference and preserving our sea for the future. Goal - Since its inception, the White River Fish Sanctuary (WRFS) has made a big impact on coral restoration in the area. We’ve been working hard with our partners and community to rehabilitate degraded coral reefs, which is key to achieving the sanctuary’s goal to increase fish stocks in the area .
This has had a ripple effect, improving the livelihoods of our marine life and local fishers. We’re committed to continuing our work to achieve this ambitious goal and make a real difference for the future of our oceans.
