The Jamaica Inn Foundation has launched its 9th annual Backgammon Tournament aimed at supporting the White River Fish Sanctuary and protecting the island’s coral reefs.
Backgammon is a 2-player, 15-checker-per-side board game combining strategy and luck.
This year’s tournament is set for June 19-21 at Jamaica Inn in St. Ann will see over 40 players.
Speaking at the launch last week, board member of the Jamaica Inn Foundation Olivia Morrow emphasized that a healthy coral reef enhances the sea’s beauty, improves the tourism sea experience and assists the fragile ecosystem.
She highlighted the foundation’s works aimed at protecting the marine environment.
