World Oceans Month Social Media Campaign
From June 5th to 27th, 2023, the ACS embarked on a purpose-driven World Oceans Month social media campaign to commemorate this important month, promote sustainable practices and raise interest in the 2023 IPReM conference
By using concise yet impactful short-form videos, the Sandy Shorelines team made a call for action for sustainable ocean and coastal management.
We invite you explore this campaign as we continue to foster positive transformations, ocean and coastal protection and stewardship.
Save Our Shorelines! Competition
Save Our Shorelines! Competition
From March to May 2023, we invited participants to embark on a journey of discovery. Armed with their smartphones, they ventured to their local beaches, capturing the stories of coastal erosion through photographs. But that’s not all—participants proposed ingenious solutions to combat erosion and shared their findings on Facebook, tagging the ACS’ page.
And the Winners Are...
Our vibrant competition drew entries from countries including Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Jamaica, Guyana, and Haiti, showcasing the spirit of regional participation. The judging panel was moved by the creativity and dedication of our participants. Winners were selected in the two
categories:
Best Proposed Solution: Awarded to the participant who proposed the most innovative and effective solution to combat beach erosion.
Most Liked Submission: Determined by the highest number of likes on the social media posts.
The winners were selected by the Sandy Shorelines Technical Advisory Group as follows:
Best Proposed Solutions:
- Angelina Pacheco (Trinidad and Tobago)
- Shamar Glasgow (Jamaica)
- Sai Saidu (Trinidad and Tobago)
- Wenston Nevelus (Haiti)

Going the Extra Mile
Our first-place winner in the “Best Proposed Solutions” category was invited to present their solution at the prestigious IPReM 2023 conference. The winners were given the opportunity to develop longer
videos describing their solutions in further detail to promote awareness and share their insights on combatting coastal erosion.
