Before construction even began, she says the team consulted the school principal to protect students—and the fish ponds will stay far from the kids’ football field. This isn’t just about farming fish; it’s a shot at revitalizing St. Thomas by creating jobs, boosting local businesses, and strengthening Jamaica’s food security. As one of the first major commercial aquaculture ventures on Jamaica’s eastern side, this project could spark real growth—if done right. Charles urges stakeholders to focus on responsible development, not politics, so the community wins—not just gets divided.
