Bjorkland, Ph.D. Karen L. Eckert, Ph.D. Editors Prepared by: CEP Technical Report No. 50 __________________________________________________________________ 2011 Jamaica Sea Turtles … PREFACE Of the six species of sea turtle that inhabit the Caribbean Sea, all are classified as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In addition to centuries of regulated but largely unmonitored exploitation, sea turtles are accidentally captured and often drowned in active and abandoned fishing gear, resulting in death to uncounted tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands annually. Coral reef and seagrass degradation, oil spills, chemical waste, persistent plastic and other marine debris, high density coastal development, and an increase in ocean-based tourism have damaged or eliminated nesting beaches and feeding grounds. Population declines are complicated by the fact that causal factors are not always local. Sea turtles are migratory at all life stages, meaning that what appears as a decline in a local population may be a direct consequence of the activities of people many hundreds of kilometers away. Thus, while local conser- vation is crucial, action is also called for at the regional level. To adequately protect migratory sea turtles and achieve the objectives of the UNEP/CEP Regional Pro- gramme for Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife, The Strategy for the Development of the Caribbean Environment Programme (1990-1995) called for “the development of specific management plans for economically and ecologically important species”, making particular reference to endangered, threatened, or vulnerable species of sea turtle. This is consistent with Article 10 of the Cartagena Convention (1983), which states that Contracting Parties shall “individually or jointly take all appropriate measures to protect ... the habitat of depleted, threatened or endangered species in the Convention area.” Article 10 of the 1991 Protocol to the Cartagena Convention concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW Protocol) specifies that Parties “carry out recovery, management, planning and other measures to effect the survival of [endangered or threatened] species” and regulate or prohibit activities having “adverse effects on such species or their habitats”. Article 11 declares that each Party “shall ensure total protection and recovery to the species of fauna listed in Annex II”. All six species of Carib- bean-occurring sea turtles were included in Annex II in 1991. This CEP Technical Report is the 14th in a series of Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plans prepared by the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST1), a coalition of Caribbean sea turtle specialists, natural resource managers, and community-based organisations. The objectives of the Re- covery Action Plan series are to assist Caribbean governments in the discharge of their obligations under the SPAW Protocol, to promote a regional capability to implement scientifically sound sea turtle manage- ment and conservation programs, and to encourage a unified approach among range States. Each Recovery Action Plan summarises the known distribution of sea turtles, discusses major causes of mortality, evaluates the effectiveness of existing conservation laws, and prioritises implementing mea- sures for stock recovery. This document was developed and thoroughly peer-reviewed by national stake- holder-led processes, with WIDECAST serving as scientific advisor, and upon completion was submitted to the UNEP-CEP Regional Coordinating Unit (Kingston, Jamaica) and the CEP Focal Point in Jamaica for approval and permission to publish. 1 WIDECAST is a nonprofit organization founded in 1981 by Monitor International in response to a recommendation by the IUCN/CCA Meeting of Non-Governmental Caribbean Organizations on Living Resources Conservation for Sustainable Development in the Wider Caribbean (Santo Domingo, 26-29 August 1981) that a “Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plan should be prepared ... consistent with the Action Plan for the Caribbean Environment Programme.” WIDECAST is comprised of Country Coordinators in more than 40 States and territories, and has serv- ed the CEP for more than a quarter-century in support of a shared vision to “protecting the marine environment of the wider Caribbean region for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations” and to ensure “coordinated and comprehensive development without environmental damage” (Preamble, Cartagena Convention). WIDECAST embraces an extensive network of interested citizens – including scientists, conservationists, resource managers, educators and policy-makers – working together to reverse the declining trend in Wider Caribbean sea turtle popula- tions by promoting a region-wide capability to design and implement science-based conservation and management measures. Financial support comes from both private and public (Government) sources, and includes the UNEP Caribbean Environment Programme. Page i CEP Technical Report No. 50 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of all those persons who have contributed to the prep- aration of this Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plan for Jamaica. We are indebted to the Ministry of Agricul- ture and Fisheries for consistent support and staff involvement in the national consultative processes that were integral to the development of this landmark document, the first for sea turtles in Jamaica. Our very special thanks, as well, to the Environmental Fund of Jamaica (EFJ) for funding the nesting beach surveys, the consultative processes that supported the development of this action plan, and tech- nical assistance in writing the document. The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service and the UNEP Car- ibbean Environment Programme (UNEP-CEP) also provided support and encouragement for research and for development of this landmark national document. The Center for Marine Conservation at Duke University generously provided a grant for printing. We would like to thank the many members of the Jamaican Sea Turtle Recovery Network (STRN) – including NGOs, Fisheries Division, Jamaica Defense Force, Coast Guard, Marine Police, University of the West Indies, and many, many fishers, divers, landowners and other interested individuals – who have patrolled nesting beaches, given freely of their time and expertise, and critically reviewed the document in its various incarnations. We are particularly grateful for the support given to the project by the Natural Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA), now integrated within the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA), and especially the staff of the National Parks, Protected Areas and Wildlife Branch and the Technical Support and Electronic Information System. These colleagues have been invaluable in providing facilities and technical support in the production of this document. We would also like to acknowledge Ms. Christine O'Sullivan (UNEP-CEP) for her thorough review and helpful comments on the final draft. Finally, to our editors Dr. Ronald Bjorkland and Dr. Karen Eckert, the authors extend our deep apprecia- tion for your thorough and thoughtful editing. Our special thanks to Karen Eckert for her unwavering sup- port and commitment to the project, and to our valued colleagues and mentors throughout the region who, through our collective involvement in the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST), nurture our efforts in Jamaica, share educational and technical resources with us, and in so many ways assist us in reaching our shared objective of a sustainable future.

First published in 1793, the work is widely considered to be a classic of British Caribbean literature. This article introduces an unpublished first draft of Edwards’s preface to that work. Housed in the archives of the West India Committee in Westminster, England, this preface has never been published or fully analyzed by scholars in print. It offers valuable insight into the production of West Indian history at the end of the eighteenth century. In particular, it shows how colonial planters confronted the challenges of their day by attempting to wrest the practice of writing West Indian history from their critics in Great Britain. Unlike these metropolitan writers, Edwards had lived in the West Indian colonies for many years. He positioned his personal experience as being a primary source of his historical legitimacy. Keywords Bryan Edwards – West Indian history – eighteenth century – slavery – abolition Bryan Edwards’s The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies is a text well known to scholars of the Caribbean (Edwards 1793). First published in June of 1793, the text was “among the most widely read and influential accounts of the British Caribbean for generations” (V.

  • Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States
    Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States Winthrop D. Jordan1 Edited by Paul Spickard2 Editor’s Note Winthrop Jordan was one of the most honored US historians of the second half of the twentieth century. His subjects were race, gender, sex, slavery, and religion, and he wrote almost exclusively about the early centuries of American history. One of his first published articles, “American Chiaroscuro: The Status and Definition of Mulattoes in the British Colonies” (1962), may be considered an intellectual forerunner of multiracial studies, as it described the high degree of social and sexual mixing that occurred in the early centuries between Africans and Europeans in what later became the United States, and hinted at the subtle racial positionings of mixed people in those years.3 Jordan’s first book, White over Black: American Attitudes Toward the Negro, 1550–1812, was published in 1968 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement era. The product of years of painstaking archival research, attentive to the nuances of the thousands of documents that are its sources, and written in sparkling prose, White over Black showed as no previous book had done the subtle psycho-social origins of the American racial caste system.4 It won the National Book Award, the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, the Bancroft Prize, the Parkman Prize, and other honors. It has never been out of print since, and it remains a staple of the graduate school curriculum for American historians and scholars of ethnic studies. In 2005, the eminent public intellectual Gerald Early, at the request of the African American magazine American Legacy, listed what he believed to be the ten most influential books on African American history.

As a member of the Cave Research Foundation, Dr. Sides has made many important contributions to the exploration of Mammoth Cave. His emphasis in the course will therefore be upon the cave's early and recent exploration. The class will be as rigorous as Speleology and Geology and will provide extensive trips into the cave to see rarely visited areas (such a.s the New Discovery).

  • Destination Jamaica
    © Lonely Planet Publications 12 Destination Jamaica Despite its location almost smack in the center of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Jamaica doesn’t blend in easily with the rest of the Caribbean archipelago. To be sure, it boasts the same addictive sun rays, sugary sands and pampered resort-life as most of the other islands, but it is also set apart historically and culturally. Nowhere else in the Caribbean is the connection to Africa as keenly felt. FAST FACTS Kingston was the major nexus in the New World for the barbaric triangular Population: 2,780,200 trade that brought slaves from Africa and carried sugar and rum to Europe, Area: 10,992 sq km and the Maroons (runaways who took to the hills of Cockpit Country and the Blue Mountains) safeguarded many of the African traditions – and Length of coastline: introduced jerk seasoning to Jamaica’s singular cuisine. St Ann’s Bay’s 1022km Marcus Garvey founded the back-to-Africa movement of the 1910s and ’20s; GDP (per head): US$4600 Rastafarianism took up the call a decade later, and reggae furnished the beat Inflation: 5.8% in the 1960s and ’70s. Little wonder many Jamaicans claim a stronger affinity for Africa than for neighboring Caribbean islands. Unemployment: 11.3% And less wonder that today’s visitors will appreciate their trip to Jamaica Average annual rainfall: all the more if they embrace the island’s unique character. In addition to 78in the inherent ‘African-ness’ of its population, Jamaica boasts the world’s Number of orchid species best coffee, world-class reefs for diving, offbeat bush-medicine hiking tours, found only on the island: congenial fishing villages, pristine waterfalls, cosmopolitan cities, wetlands 73 (there are more than harboring endangered crocodiles and manatees, unforgettable sunsets – in 200 overall) short, enough variety to comprise many utterly distinct vacations.

  • WHAT IS a FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, and PRODUCING LANDSCAPES in ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA by Gary R. Schnakenberg a DISSERTATION
    WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST. ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg This dissertation research examined the operation of discourses associated with contemporary globalization in producing the agricultural landscape of an area of rural Jamaica. Subject to European colonial domination from the time of Columbus until the 1960s and then as a small island state in an unevenly globalizing world, Jamaica has long been subject to operations of unequal power relationships. Its history as a sugar colony based upon chattel slavery shaped aspects of the society that emerged, and left imprints on the ethnic makeup of the population, orientation of its economy, and beliefs, values, and attitudes of Jamaican people. Many of these are smallholder agriculturalists, a livelihood strategy common in former colonial places. Often ideas, notions, and practices about how farms and farming ‘ought-to-be’ in such places results from the operations and workings of discourse. As advanced by Foucault, ‘discourse’ refers to meanings and knowledge circulated among people and results in practices that in turn produce and re-produce those meanings and knowledge. Discourses define what is right, correct, can be known, and produce ‘the world as it is.’ They also have material effects, in that what it means ‘to farm’ results in a landscape that emerges from those meanings. In Jamaica, meanings of ‘farms’ and ‘farming’ have been shaped by discursive elements of contemporary globalization such as modernity, competition, and individualism.

  • The Effects of Urbanization on Natural Resources in Jamaica
    Doneika Simms. The Effects of Urbanization on Natural Resources in Jamaica . 44th ISOCARP Congress 2008 THE EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON NATURAL RESOURCES IN JAMAICA BACKGROUND OF STUDY AREA Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean, comprising of approximately 4,400 sq. miles or 10,991 square kilometers in area. Over two-thirds of the country’s land resources consist of a central range of hills and mountains, with the Blue Mountain Range being the most significant, ranging over 6000 ft. in height (GOJ, 1994; Clarke, 2006). This means that urban development in areas such as the capital city of Kingston and other principal towns such as Montego Bay and Ocho Rios is limited to the relatively small amount of flat lands most of which has a coastal location (see figure 1). Figure 1 Showing a Map of Jamaica and the Various Cities along the Coast Source: http://www.sangstersrealty.com/jamaica_map.htm Although a significant portion of the terrain is mountainous, in several places the coastal plain extends to form broad embayments. Among these, a dry embankment on the south side of the island known as the Liguanea Plain has been occupied by the city of Kingston. The built-up area of the city spreads over 50 sq. miles and comprises the parish of Kingston and the suburban section of St. Andrew. The city is located on the eastern side of the island which is sheltered from the north-east trade winds by the Blue Mountains, hence being ideal for the major seaport of the country- the Kingston Harbour (Clarke, 2006).
