Nearly 100 enthusiastic students from four primary schools in Christ Church were treated to an extraordinary underwater experience aboard the Atlantis Submarine on Thursday. This unique excursion, part of the parish’s ‘We Gatherin’’ initiative, aimed to cultivate a profound appreciation for marine conservation among the young participants. The children were granted a rare glimpse into the island’s vibrant undersea ecosystem, fostering both excitement and environmental awareness. Pupils from Milton Lynch, Christ Church Girls’, St Lawrence Primary, and St Bartholomew Primary participated in the tours, totaling 96 students. Parish committee member Coreen Kennedy-Taitt emphasized the initiative’s goal of inspiring environmental stewardship. She urged the children to protect the ocean by avoiding plastic pollution and actively removing harmful debris. Roseanne Myers, General Manager of Atlantis Submarines, highlighted the project’s broader mission to give back to every parish on the island. She stressed the importance of environmental education, encouraging the students to recognize their impact on marine life. Myers was impressed by the children’s existing knowledge of marine protection, such as the dangers plastic poses to turtles and jellyfish. As the students returned, their laughter and chatter reflected the success of the initiative, blending education with adventure. The experience left the children with lasting memories and a deeper understanding of their role in safeguarding the island’s marine treasures.
