Yeaterday, January 8th 2026, the Montego Bay Marine Park Trust teamed up with , the Forestry Department, and students from the University of the West Indies (Mona) to assess the mangroves in the Bogue Lagoons, following Hurricane Melissa. These areas were previously surveyed, so this visit was all about comparing changes and seeing how our mangroves are holding up. Nature tells a story, and we’re here to listen.

On Monday, December 8, 2025, we had the handover of a Multi Spectral Drone,
Thermal Drone, and
2 RTKs (Real-time Kinematics) to the Montego Bay Marine Park Trust.

Thanks to The Mona Geoinformatics Institute (MGI), our dedicated trainers, and the Embassy of the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), who generously funded the initiative and equipment.

The integration of drone technology into our monitoring and patrol efforts is set to elevate the protection and management of Montego Bay Marine Park.

Stay tuned for more footage and details on the amount of garbage we collected. Every piece counts.

While flipping through the Montego Bay Marine Park Trust’s photo albums during our move from Pier One to the Yacht Club, I stumbled on a treasure trove of memories.

From the big changes over the years to the many people who played a part in protecting and shaping the Park; it’s all there.

I’d love to share more of these gems with you! Would you like to see more of the 90s throwbacks?
