Jamaican activists contest coast privatization
Jamaican campaigners are challenging the privatization of public beaches through court cases aimed at protecting access to shorelines in several areas, including Mammee Bay and Little Dunn’s River. They argue that the colonial-era Beach Control Act and recent laws like the Narra Act restrict unrestricted public use, favoring private investors and tourism interests. The campaigners emphasize that these restrictions threaten livelihoods, traditional practices, and the right to free access to beaches.
