He said following the referendum,
regardless of the outcome, he will
organize the elections for the country.
Organization of American States
(OAS) Secretary General Luis Almargo
has told Haiti it is “essential for institutional
continuity that elections take
place no later than January 2021.”

The United States
Department of
State’s Bureau of
Oceans and International
Environmental Scientific have
given Jamaica US$2.45 million for a reef
restoration project in the eastern parish
of St. Mary.
According to the US Embassy in Kingston,
the Oracabessa Marine Trust’s reef
restoration project will involve a range
of activities to help fight off disease
and algae, solidify the reef structure
and protect it from boat traffic over 18
months.
The embassy said in a statement:
“This includes growing and transplanting
a wide variety of coral to the reef,
which will better protect it from the disease.
Since sea urchins clean algae on
reefs, the project will also support growing
sea urchins in tanks and transplanting
them to the reef, along with existing
populations from other locations.”
The project is expected to have a
positive impact on both the fishing and
tourism sectors in the areas, given that
the site is a major asset for the tourism
sector, as the reef itself is highly visited
and appreciated by drivers and snorkelers
from hotels along the north coast.
Trinidad
Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley says
that the CARICOM travel bubble is
more of an expectation
than a reality.
It was expected that
members of CARICOM
countries within the
bubble would not have
to take a COVID-19 test, or be quarantined
on entry in order to travel
between counties.
Dr. Rowley said Caribbean leaders set
20 new daily infections as the target for
countries to participate in the bubble
but it was difficult to agree on what it
should be.
Speaking at a press conference
recently at the Diplomatic Center, Port
of Spain Dr. Rowley said different countries
had different priorities, saying for
example some had to open international
travel early because their economy
relied on tourism.
He said instead, countries were developing
and testing out nation-specific
protocols, adding that a bubble was difficult
to manage and maintain.
