Tara Carroll
COVE COOLOUT RESTAURANT & BAR
Cove Coolout Restaurant & Bar (The Cove) is a seafood eatery that serves up authentic Jamaican flavours using traditional techniques, such as cooking over a wood fire.
The company makes a conscious effort to not to sell parrotfish. Parrotfish keep coral reefs healthy by eating the algae that grows on them. They also excrete sand, which is one way of countering beach erosion. But the parrotfish population is at risk from overfishing. CEO Tara Carroll believes it is her environmental and social responsibilty to keep the fish off the restaurant’s menu and to educate customers on the impact the species has on marine life.
