The 4th Annual Dive and Conservation Festival in Grenada has wrapped up another successful edition, marking a week-long celebration of the island’s marine biodiversity, sustainable tourism, and community-driven conservation initiatives. The festival kicked off with an opening ceremony at Mount Cinnamon Resort, attended by sponsors, partners, and participants, all united by their passion for environmental stewardship. Shanai St Bernard, Nautical Development Manager at the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA), emphasized the festival’s mission to showcase Grenada’s marine beauty while fostering education and awareness about conservation. St Bernard highlighted the importance of collective efforts in preserving the island’s marine ecosystems for future generations. The week featured a series of immersive activities, including a sea moss farming demonstration, a dive at the “World Adrift” sculpture park in Carriacou, and an encounter with the endangered Grenada frog at Grand Etang. These experiences underscored the interconnectedness of conservation, innovation, and sustainability. The festival also hosted “Conservation Conversations,” a conference that brought together students, sustainability experts, and conservationists for meaningful dialogue. A screening of the documentary “Open Season,” which chronicles efforts to protect Grenada’s sea turtle population, was a key highlight. Stacey Liburd, CEO of the GTA, praised the festival’s impact, noting Grenada’s commitment to protecting its marine ecosystems and biodiversity. The event concluded with mangrove restoration and birdwatching activities at Woburn Mangrove Boardwalk, where participants worked alongside local conservationists to plant seedlings and observe the area’s diverse wildlife. The Dive and Conservation Festival reinforced Grenada’s reputation as a premier dive destination and a leader in sustainable marine tourism.
