These four parishes were identified as the most devastated by Hurricane Sandy in October, 2012. Prior to this deliverable the consultants completed a Findings and Lessons Learnt report which informed the recommendations presented in this deliverable. The Recovery Plan has been divided into five volumes so that each parish plan can be pulled out as a stand-alone document: Volume I presents the contextual setting of the project and introduces the recovery plan. It is expected that Volume I will be utilized by all four parishes. Volume II presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Thomas. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and plan and strategic results-based framework. Volume III presents the recovery plan for the parish of Portland. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish and presents a summary of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan as well as the strategic results-based framework. Volume IV presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Mary. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St. Mary and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and strategic results-based framework recommended for the parish. Volume V presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Catherine. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St Catherine, and an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan, as well as the strategic results-based framework recommended for St. Catherine. This document represents Volume IV of the Recovery Plan and focuses on the parish of St. Mary. ESL management Solutions Limited 1 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Plan – Volume IV November 20, 2013 1.0 ST. MARY 1.1 HAZARD VULNERABILITY PROFILE Background The parish of St. Mary is located to the North eastern section the island of Jamaica and is bordered by Portland in the east, St. Ann in the west, and parts of St. Catherine and St. Andrew in the south (Figure 1.1). The Caribbean Sea is the northern boundary. The parish at 610 km² is ranked as the fifth smallest and has a population of 113,918 (statinja.gov.jm). FIGURE 1.1: GOOGLE IMAGE OF ST. MARY The terrain is mountainous, rising up to almost 4000 feet at the highest point, but there are no distinctive mountain ranges (Figure 1.2). ESL management Solutions Limited 2 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Plan – Volume IV November 20, 2013 FIGURE 1.2: TOPOGRAPHY MAP OF ST. MARY Climate The 30-year mean total annual rainfall for the parish is 1,818 mm (1971-2000) (EMC2, 2013). St. Mary has the typical bimodal rainfall pattern (Figure 1.3) with a major wet season between September and January (when mean monthly rainfall exceeds 140 mm), and a relatively minor one in April/May. The remaining months have mean monthly rainfall ranging between 136 mm (February) and 82 mm (June). The 2005 and 2006 rainfall data collected at Green Castle Estate seem to reflect much more pronounced dry and wet periods. The wettest months were April 2005 and November 2006 with precipitations of 559 mm and 631mm respectively. The dry seasons in 2005 and 2006 were also much drier with as little as 3 mm of rain in February 2005 and in March 2006. ESL management Solutions Limited 3 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Plan – Volume IV November 20, 2013 FIGURE 1.3: RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION FOR ST MARY (MM) FOR THE PERIOD 1971-2000 (SOURCE: NATIONAL MET. OFFICE IN EMC2, 2013) Drainage and Hydrology St Mary has a dense network of rivers and streams, making the parish highly dissected and prone to flooding. The town of Port Maria lies along the north coast and straddles two major watersheds. The first is the Outram River Watershed

Can you spot the Northern Potoo? We ended up seeing a bounty of these marvelously camouflaged creatures during our time in Jamaica. Photo by guide Tom Johnson. This splendid week in Jamaica took us on an exploration of the natural beauty of this island. From our comfortable base at Green Castle Estate, we managed to see all of the island's endemic bird species as well as many regional specialties, too. Day trips to the Blue Mountains, the John Crow Mountains, and Cockpit Country supplemented the excellent birding on the grounds of Green Castle Estate. In between the birds, there was plenty of great Jamaican food like jerk chicken, bammy, festival, ackee and saltfish, and much more - we certainly didn't go hungry. And the smooth, rich Blue Mountain coffee helped us stay awake through it all! Some of the many birding highlights included the close looks at the rare Jamaican Blackbird, the gargoyle-like Northern Potoos that sat just outside while we ate our dinner at Green Castle, the amazing views of Crested Quail-Doves, and repeated experiences with Jamaican Lizard-Cuckoos and Chestnut-bellied Cuckoos. Our local guide Dwayne Swaby and driver Raymond Condappa helped us get to know the island better and were excellent companions along the way - many thanks to Dwayne and Raymond. Until next time - good birding! Tom KEYS FOR THIS LIST One of the following keys may be shown in brackets for individual species as appropriate: * = heard only, I = introduced, E = endemic, N = nesting, a = austral migrant, b = boreal migrant BIRDS Field Guides Birding Tours • www.fieldguides.com • 800-728-4953 1 Anatidae (Ducks, Geese, and Waterfowl) WEST INDIAN WHISTLING­DUCK (Dendrocygna arborea) – Three of these scarce regional specialties were waiting for us in the dark near the entrance to Green Castle Estate.

  • Jamaica Fao Country Report
    JAMAICA FAO COUNTRY REPORT 1.0 Introduction To The Country And Its Agricultural Sector: Size: Jamaica has a total land area of 10991 Sq.Km. making it the third largest Caribbean Island. The maximum length of the Island is 234.95 Km and the width varies from 35.4 – 82 Km. Geographical Location World Position: Jamaica enjoys a favourable location in relation to the western world. As demonstrated in Figure 1, the total landmass of the Americas, most of Europe and much of North and West Africa lie within a hemisphere centred on Jamaica, that is, within a 9 654 kilometres radius of the country. This hemisphere represents the major portion of the world’s economic activity and markets, although inhabited by less than half of the world’s population. Almost all of Jamaica’s cultural and economic associations are with countries in this hemisphere. Western Europe is within 9 654 kilometres, while Eastern Canada and the United States are well within 3 218 kilometres. A further advantage is provided because direct travel distance lines to those three areas are mostly over water which is the cheapest form of commercial transportation. The increasing use and improvement of aircraft make straight-line distance from Jamaica to other places in the world very pertinent. The closest link with North America is Miami, some 965 kilometres to the north. Such major cities as New York, Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City are from 2 414 kilometres to 3 218 kilometres flying distance; Rio de Janeiro in South America, Dakar in Africa and London and Madrid in Europe are 6 436 kilometres to 8 045 kilometres distant; Tokyo, Cape Town and New Delhi are 12 872 to 14 481 kilometres; Singapore and Sydney are 16 090 to 17 699 kilometres away.

St. James Queen of Spain Valley Trelawny Queen of Spain Valley Hanover Great River Westmoreland Dean St. Catherine Luidas Vale St. Mary St Thomas in the Vale Portland Rio Grande St. Thomas Plantain Garden www.caribbeanexams.com Page 2 Mountains The mountains of the island can be broken up into three main groups. The first group is in the eastern section composed primarily of the Blue Mountain. This group also has the John Crow Mountains and is the most easterly mountain range in the island. They run from north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The second group or central region is formed chiefly of limestone, and extends from Stony Hill in St Andrew to the Cockpit country. The central range starts from Stony Hill and runs in a north westerly direction through Mammee Hill, Red Hills, Bog Walk, Guy's Hill, Mount Diablo and finally into the Cockpit country. The third group is the western section with Dolphin Head as its centre. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 3 Major Mountains www.caribbeanexams.com Page 4 Rivers Major Rivers in Jamaica www.caribbeanexams.com Page 5 Black River As the main mountain ranges in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south.

The charismatic and tiny Jamaican Tody shares the honor of favorite species for the tour with Streamertail. (Photo by guide Eric Hynes) Thank you so much for choosing Field Guides for your Jamaica birding adventure. We completed the clean sweep of all 27 endemics and tallied a number of the regional endemics as well. We enjoyed comfortable accommodations, easy transportation, quality food, agreeable weather, and excellent camaraderie. There is no such thing as the perfect tour, but a lot of things fell into place nicely for us on this run. Our local guide, Dwayne Swaby, performed admirably for us and showed us all a good time. Thanks again to the wonderful staff at Green Castle Estate. The tour began with Antillean Palm-Swifts. The avian acrobats that they are, these birds entertained us as they flew in and out of the Royal Palm at the airport. All of us and our luggage arrived without a hitch, so we were able to start our journey east on time. Green Castle Estate and the friendly staff were a welcome sight at the end of a long travel day. Our first full day together we spent entirely on the trails of Green Castle Estate (GCE). We birded the Coffee Trail and the Cuckoo Trail before breakfast, the Waterfall Trail before lunch, and the Davey Hill loop in the afternoon.
