In a significant environmental initiative, bmobile volunteers recently joined forces with Nature Seekers at Matura Beach, a protected turtle nesting site in Trinidad and Tobago, as part of the 2025 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC). The effort, which saw the removal of over 1,100 pounds of debris, underscores bmobile’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. Plastic bottles, fishing nets, food wrappers, and other non-biodegradable materials were collected, safeguarding the habitat of endangered leatherback turtles and other marine life. Anjanie Ramesar-Soom, bmobile’s corporate environmental and social responsibility specialist, emphasized the company’s broader vision of building stronger communities and a sustainable future. The cleanup is part of bmobile’s long-standing corporate social responsibility agenda, which includes coastal preservation as a key pillar. Vanessa Rampersad, a network performance systems engineer at TSTT, highlighted the importance of such efforts in protecting marine ecosystems and biodiversity. The 40th anniversary of the ICC, organized globally by Ocean Conservancy, saw data from local cleanups coordinated by the Caribbean Network for Integrated Rural Development (CNIRD) informing regional waste-management strategies. CNIRD’s executive director, Marissa Mohammed, praised bmobile’s consistent involvement, calling the company a ‘green pioneer.’ Nature Seekers’ tour coordinator, Larissa Hosein, expressed gratitude for bmobile’s support, noting the positive impact on Matura’s coastline. The cleanup was further supported by the Sangre Grande Regional Corporation, ensuring proper waste disposal. Matura, a globally recognized nesting site for leatherback and green sea turtles, plays a vital role in eco-tourism and local livelihoods. Through its participation in the ICC and annual volunteer programs, bmobile reaffirms its dedication to environmental stewardship and the global movement for cleaner, healthier seas.
