BREDS

BREDS (Kingfisher Plaza, Calabash Bay, contact Sean Chedda, assistant project manager, (9 a.m.-5 p.m Mon.-Fri., 9 a.m.-1 p.m Sat.) is a community-based organization engaged in community betterment activities and staging events. The nongovernmental organization (NGO) is currently involved in bringing a couple of benchmarking organizations to test for environmental integrity to keep the community green and sustainable. It is also working to have lifeguards posted along the beaches. The group has already trained lifeguards who are posted at Frenchman's Beach, one of the area's most notorious, which has claimed the lives of many locals. There is no reef protection at Frenchman's Beach, and thus the currents tend to be very strong. Jason Henzell, of Jake's, is the BREDS chairman.
