The Jamaica Beach Birthright Environmental Movement (Jabbem) secured a temporary injunction to prevent private developers from sealing off public beaches for private use.
Supporters gathered at One Man Beach in Montego Bay to celebrate the legal victory. The group argues against a tourism model that limits access for local people. Australian swimmer Eva Buzo participated in a nearly 11-hour swim to support the movement's efforts to keep the coastline open to the public.
