Eric Morrison, Project Manager for the Treasure Beach Foundation (BREDS), which organised the event, said that the day was a "huge success".
"We had a large turn out of persons from the Treasure Beach Benevolent Women Society (TBBWS), the environmental club of the Sandy Bank Primary School and other civic-minded persons, who came to help in the cleaning of the Great Bay, Calabash Bay, Frenchman and Billy's Bay beaches" he told JIS News.
Mr. Morrison informed that "15 bags of garbage were collected with items ranging from plastic bottles to sea weeds and even debris that were washed ashore from Hurricane Ivan".He noted that the garbage bags were donated by Treasure Tours.
The enthused Project Manager said he was "proud to see how the community members came out to help in cleaning the beaches and how persons were willing to cooperate in completing the task".
