WaterWays

Guess what is happening today?
Here is a hint.
⛺️

From then to now we have made some new waves. We are so excited to be where we are and couldn’t have done it without all the supporters along the way. As we embark on a new year we have some major achievements we are celebrating. Including yesterday’s signing of the MOU for a trash interceptor that will be installed later this month.
Stay tuned for all our activities coming up!

It all started in the Caribbean doing marine education and that is still a crucial part of what we do. But we also do so much more!
We love making an impact with the kids and community members.

“Why We Do What We Do”
As we are approaching our 20th year Anniversary Celebration we want to take a moment and look back at all we have been able to accomplish. Through so many volunteers, organizations, sponsors, and so many hands through the years, thank you to all who have walked with us.

Happy World Biodiversity Day!
Without the diversity in the ecosystem we would lack food, infrastructure, and so much more! Let’s do our part in conserving all diversity.

“Why We Do What We Do”
In Collaboration with the Soufriere Regional Development Foundation and the Ministry of Sustainable Development WaterWays was happy to award three schools with an award towards their Science Fair projects. There was a special category focusing on creating a idea that would remove plastic waste from the environment. Congratulations to these students and we look forward to more innovative ideas to have a cleaner future.

Happy World Forest Day,
Did you know????

* More than 30% of new diseases reported since 1960 are attributed to land use change, including deforestation.
* Forests contain over ½ the global carbon stock in soils and vegetation.
* An area roughly the equivalent of 14 million football pitches is lost per year to deforestation.
* Insect pests damage around 35 million hectares of forest annually.
* Forested watersheds and wetlands provide 75% of the world´s accessible freshwater.

Had such an awesome day out in the water for our first Snorkel Day! We can’t wait for next Saturday. Don’t forget there is still plenty of time to sign up for the 16th. Want to take a special moment as well to shoutout an amazing small owned company called Cobalt. We loved using their snorkel equipment and it worked great for the kids!

Had such a blast with everyone this past week in the rainforest and ending at the reef. Here is a glimpse of what we all got into during the week. From Singing for our suppers, bird watching, tie-dying shirts, exploring the river, and snorkeling with much more in between. A huge shoutout to those that came and assisted as well as those that allowed us to use there facilities. Grand Eden Estate was gorgeous and the kids learned so much. Thank you to the two forestry officers who the kids didn’t want to let them leave. None of it was possible without you!
