As clubs in the eastern region of the district continue to recover from the hurricanes of 2017, they are also cutting down on the pollution on beaches and waters.
The St. Thomas II club designed a project to assist US Virgin Islanders with operative cisterns on St. Thomas and St. John to check the quality of the water they were consuming for cooking, drinking and for personal hygiene. The clubs provided information to ensure the community had the tools to maintain a clean, functioning cistern system.
In addition to ensuring the country has clean potable water, the Rotary Club of Sint Maarten, with a District 7020 Recovery Grant matched by funding from The Rotary Foundation Donor Advised Fund totalling $40,000, are cleaning their beaches with a special beach cleaning machine to avoid pollution.

Submerged Tree Planting
Here is what other 7020 members are doing for the tree planting challenge...
Rotary members and Rotaractors in the Bahamas are taking Rotary President’s Ian H.S. Riseley’s tree planting challenge to the sea. In December, the group planted 50 red mangroves seedlings at Bonefish Pond National Park on the southern coast of New Providence Island. The tropical plants have roots that form a tangle that protects the shoreline against storm surges by trapping sediment the wave carries in. Members also dug a channel so the tidewater can flow to the plants.
“When the sea levels go down, you’ll see our work,” says Adrian White of the Rotary Club of East Nassau. “When the sea levels go up, our will still be there, protecting our country.”
