The Waste Free Oceans Foundation (WFO) and the Dominican Association of Community Foundations for Environmental Health through Recycling (Afunsarec) signed an agreement to collaborate in a project called “The Ozama – Isabela Watershed Source of Life.” The goal of the project is to clean-up the lower basins of both Ozama and Isabela rivers.
The president of the WFO, Inge Demyttenare explained that part of the clean-up strategy involves collecting the solid waste so it can be recycled and later placed in international markets. The agreement calls for an assessment of the present condition of the Ozama and Isabela rivers. Funds for the US$3 million effort will be sought both locally as well as abroad.
