As a final year student at the University of Technology, Jamaica, it was a requirement that I produce something that crowned my University years in the Communication Arts and Technology Programme (BCAT).
For this project, I did not want to take the easy way out. I wanted to to choose something of purpose and importance in order to make a difference somehow. From this, I chose to do a documentary on how necessary the Parrot Fish is to Jamaica. By eating the Parrot Fish (as we Jamaicans love to do) , we are diminishing the coral reefs which protects us from damaging wave action and tropical storms, while also reducing the sand production for our beaches. Who knew something so small could have such significance?
