A large group of concerned citizens took an active role in cleaning up Rose Island over the weekend. Boaters and divers were upset at the amount of debris and litter dumped all over the island by people attending the last two sailaways.
As a result of the public outrage over the "deplorable" state that Rose Island was left in Bacardi has announced that they will re-evaluate their participation in future events.
Friends of Marcus Grammatica and Erica Feszt responded to an email clean-up campaign. They donated personal funds, time and effort.
