Upset fisher folk and residents of Zepherton in St. Catherine are calling on the authorities to take stronger action against entities responsible for frequent fish kills in the Rio Cobre.
This in the wake of reports today that an alleged effluent spill, following heavy rainfall, caused yet another fish kill in the river.
Videos of the incident are circulating on social media.
Meantime, the Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) has joined the residents in expressing frustration at the frequent fish kills.
JET Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie said despite repeated assurances from the authorities that measures have been taken to prevent a fish kill, the incident keeps recurring.
