EcoZone is an environmental television series that explores pertinent environmental issues affecting the Caribbean region. An education initiative of the Environment Division of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, each show covers a special topic, such as Biodiversity and Climate Change, while following several teams of environmental cadets from secondary schools across Antigua and Barbuda as they compete in various mental, physical and IT challenges. The aim is for the cadets to learn about the importance of protecting their environment while also having fun!

Under the banner of Cinqué Productions, Melissa produced the first season of EcoZone in 2005. According to then Minister of Information, Broadcasting and Telecommunications, Dr. Edmund Mansoor, "To say that EcoZone has been successful does not give the series its due. Dominica and Grenada too are asking where is their Ecozone. The success of EcoZOne is directly attributable to... the first class creation by Cinqué Productions, an Antiguan owned company".

The series was so well-received that Melissa was asked to produce a second season in 2007.
