Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics Clean-up in St Kitts and Nevis

On 21 March 2025, the second stage of the King's Baton Relay took place at Conaree Beach in St. Kitts and Nevis. The Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics beach clean-up event brought together 43 dedicated volunteers who successfully removed 405 lbs of waste from the beach, highlighting the power of community action in tackling plastic pollution. 

The event was made possible through the support of several local and regional partner organisations, as well as enthusiastic participation from local schoolchildren. The following partners played a vital role in ensuring the success of this clean-up: 

• The Commonwealth Games Association St. Kitts and Nevis 

• The Ripple Institute SKN 

• St. Kitts and Nevis Chess Federation 

• Anjolique Dance Company 

• TDC Home & Building Depot 

• SKANDIS St Kitts Department of Youth Empowerment 

• St. Kitts Nevis Association of Persons with Disabilities 

• St. Kitts Seventh-day Adventist Primary 

• ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation 

• St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee 

• The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force 

• Solid Waste Management Corporation - ST KITTS 

  
  

The incredible efforts and time dedicated by all the volunteers were essential to the success of the event, and the Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) team extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved. 

The Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) was proud to be entrusted with this important initiative across the Caribbean by the Royal Commonwealth Society. As we look forward to the continued success of the campaign, we eagerly anticipate the next phase as we move towards Glasgow 2026.
