GSRJ Exonerated for Harbour Head Fish Kill | News | @CVMTelevision

In a significant development, the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) released crucial updates on Tuesday, shedding light on two distressing aquatic events that unfolded recently. The first incident occurred on Saturday, December 9, when the fishing community in Harbour View, St. Andrew, faced yet another devastating fish kill, resulting in the loss of thousands of fish. Interestingly, amidst this environmental crisis, the embattled National Water Commission (NWC) boss found himself entangled in controversy even while on leave. Adding to the environmental challenges, a defective boiler at the Old Jamaica Beverage Plant on December 11 leaked gallons of oil into the Rio Cobre, prompting the National Irrigation Commission to halt operations in St. Catherine due to concerns about water quality.
