Hundreds of plastic bottles were found discarded in the bushes along Old Hospital Beach. In this video, team members from Caribbean Maritime University are seen participating in International Coastal Cleanup Day 2026, helping to remove litter from the beach and its surrounding areas. But the bottles found hidden among the bushes are a reminder that what may seem like harmless litter can have lasting consequences for our environment.

According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, ‘most plastics do not biodegrade. Instead, they break down through a process called photodegradation, in which exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors causes them to fragment into smaller pieces, eventually forming microplastics that can persist in the environment for long periods (UNEP, 2018).’

Plastic pollution not only threatens our marine ecosystems but can also pose risks to human health as microplastics enter the food chain.

Please be mindful of how you dispose of your garbage

Protecting the marine environment means protecting more than nature. It means helping to safeguard tourism income, livelihoods, and economic stability for the communities that depend on Montego Bay’s coastal resources.

This is why the work of the Montego Bay Marine Park Trust is so important.

When the marine environment suffers from pollution, garbage, damaged reefs, and declining marine life, the tourism product suffers too. The health and beauty of our coastline and marine life are a major part of what attracts visitors to Montego Bay and shapes their experience once they arrive. A degraded marine environment, therefore, threatens not only the ecosystem but also the quality and competitiveness of the destination.

Protecting the marine environment means protecting livelihoods and protecting the tourism product on which so many businesses and communities depend. That is why the Montego Bay Marine Park Trust’s mandate to care for, protect, and preserve our marine ecosystem should matter to everyone with a stake in tourism.
