Grenada hosts the inaugural Dive and Conservation Festival | Loop Caribbean News – Loop News Caribbean

Grenada is hosting the inaugural Dive and Conservation Festival, which will take place between May 17 to 23.

This festival will highlight some of Grenadas many conservation efforts over a course of sevendays where attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Grenadas artificial and coral reef projects, participate in bird and turtle watching and lionfish hunting, volunteer for a beach clean-up session and engage with stakeholders during the Conservation Conversations which are open to the public daily.

Clarice Modeste-Curwen, Minister for Tourism, Civil Aviation, Climate resilience and the Environment stated: Our islands are a divers dream, with diverse marine life, resplendent reefs, impressive wreck sites, and the Worlds first Underwater Sculpture Park.

However, to maintain this marine paradise, we must recognise the impact of our actions on our environment and do our part to conserve our natural resources.

She continued, The GTA has recognised that sustainability is at the core of all our activity and indeed we have identified that maintaining our blue spaces and marine life is a pillar of what brand Grenada represents.

Participants interested in the Dive and Conservation festival can expect to immerse themselves in informative sessions and workshops led by local, regional and international environmental and conservation experts.

Topics will range from biodiversity and ecosystems to environmental education and research which will aid in building awareness, advocacy and capacity.
