A local environmentalist has sparked public debate after raising concerns about what appears to be oil contamination and raw sewage flowing from the Cooks Landfill into nearby mangroves and coastal waters.
Environmental advocate Eli Fuller shared a video on social media alleging that oily runoff from the Cooks Landfill is making its way into the surrounding mangrove ecosystem — a critical natural barrier that protects Antigua and Barbuda’s coastline.
Mangroves play an essential role in filtering pollutants, protecting marine life, and shielding shorelines from erosion. If contamination is confirmed, environmental experts warn it could have serious ecological consequences, affecting fish nurseries, bird habitats, and nearby communities.
