A protected area is an area of land or water that is managed for the protection and maintenance of its ecological systems, biodiversity and/or specific natural, cultural or aesthetic resources. With its extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna, land and water habitats, and wild and human landscapes, Jamaica needs a system of protected areas as a key part of its national development strategy. The system is an expression of Jamaica’s commitment to protecting its environment and resources that are of recognized national and international importance. The country’s two existing national parks and others in the protected area system still to be created, have a crucial role to play in preventing degradation of land and marine ecosystems. Special types of protected areas will be equally crucial to maintaining the island’s extraordinary biological, scenic and cultural diversity. In most instances, the creation of additional protected areas will not reduce the private use and ownership of land. On the contrary, it will lead to more productive use on a sustained basis, with benefits for local residents and for Jamaica’s economy. The Natural Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA), as the organization charged by the Government with responsibility for overall environmental management, has the pivotal role in the establishment of a National System of Protected Areas. In carrying out its responsibility for setting the policy framework for protected areas, it has consulted with numerous organizations and individuals and has produced this policy. It is to be clearly understood that the concept of protected areas in spite of it’s name does not promote an anti-development notion. Achieving a comprehensive system and realizing its potential benefits will depend on the cooperation of all Jamaicans and a partnership among the Government, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), community groups, and landowners, especially private landowners and government agencies with responsibility for the management of vast areas of land. Many parts of the system are only in the early stages of formation while others are still being planned. It is hoped that this document will lead to enhanced cooperation and coordination of management among the many participants in proposing, planning and managing protected areas across the country. 5 1. Goals for Jamaica’s System of Protected Areas The various types of protected areas in Jamaica should, individually and as part of a comprehensive system, contribute to achieving common environmental, economic, cultural and social goals. The system should be an essential tool for environmental protection, conserving essential resources for sustainable use, helping to expand and diversify economic development, and contributing to public recreation and education. Local co-management and sustainable management programmes are guiding principles for ensuring permanent protection. Goal 1 Expand and diversify Jamaica's natural resource based economy. Economic - Improve and sustain the livelihoods of individuals and local communities by Development increasing their earning capacity. - Protect the supply and quality of basic natural resources that support most economic activity including water, air and the productive land base. - Promote environmentally sound land management and research into production and harvesting practices. - Use the opportunities presented by the protected areas system to research improved methods of sustainable resource use. - Ensure that the protected area system contributes significantly to the sustainability of the critical tourism sector by protecting beaches, coastal waters, coral reefs, mountains, forests, wildlife, nature interpretation and cultural opportunities, and internationally - recognized protected areas. 6 Goal 2 Conserve Jamaica's heritage as represented by its biodiversity, scenic Environmental landscapes and cultural resources. Jamaica is home to a rich array of living organisms whose genetic diversity and relationships with each other Conservation and with their physical environment constitute the island’s biodiversity. - Preserve major representative stocks or areas of all of Jamaica's biological resources, including populations of indigenous animal and plant species, natural communities and ecosystems. - Preserve major or representative components of Jamaica's natural and cultural heritage - including wildlife, vegetation, habitats, genetic resources, landscape types, prominent natural features, historic sites and buildings, as well as treasured vistas and scenic areas - and provide for their compatible use and enjoyment by the Jamaican people and others. Goal 3 Protect ecological systems which provide goods and services. Sustainable - Restore, protect and enhance watersheds, rivers, wetlands, coral reefs, and Resource Use other important ecosystems so that essential resources, such as water, soil, trees, wildlife, fish and shellfish, are available for sustainable economic use. - Restore and protect ecosystems, such as coral reefs, beaches and dunes, wetlands and forested hillsides, that maintain life-support processes and reduce risks from natural disasters. Goal 4 Provide recreational and educational opportunities to improve the quality Recreation and of life for all Jamaicans and visitors. Public - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities and services for the Jamaican Education public and visitors, in ways and at levels compatible with the protection and sustainable use of natural areas. - Promote greater understanding of ecological systems and their components by preserving natural systems and providing opportunities for ecological and other scientific research. - Promote environmental educational opportunities. - Promote appreciation of historic and cultural resources and landscapes reflecting appropriate traditional responses to the natural environment. 7 Goal 5 Promote local interest, commitment and support for protected

  • INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT in BLUEFIELDS BAY, JAMAICA a Masters Thesis Presented to the Graduate College of Missouri State
    INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN BLUEFIELDS BAY, JAMAICA A Masters Thesis Presented to The Graduate College of Missouri State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science, Geospatial Sciences in Geography and Geology By Jackie Elizabeth Ebert July 2010 INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN BLUEFIELDS BAY, JAMAICA Geography, Geology, and Planning Missouri State University, July 2010 Master of Science Jackie Elizabeth Ebert ABSTRACT Water supplies for drinking and ecological support in Jamaica are threatened due to poverty and poor infrastructure, and the coastal waters into which they flow are polluted in some areas. Recently, Bluefields Bay, located on the southwest coast of Jamaica, has been designated a national fish sanctuary and there are questions about the condition of water quality in the area and its ability to support both human uses and fish habitat requirements. Integrated watershed management is a holistic approach that connects water quality problems to the land use practices and environmental conditions affecting them. The objectives of this study are to (i) utilize GIS to delineate and characterize sub- watersheds; (ii) complete water quality testing along all the rivers and major springs flowing into the bay; and (iii) classify the subwatersheds according to the risk of water degradation. The best stream channel and water conditions were found where streams flow through healthy wetland environments, are located away from settled areas, and have relatively wide or established riparian corridors. Most of the water problems observed are related to poor solid waste management, domestic water treatment, and the lack of protection of critical watershed areas such as riparian buffer zones, freshwater and coastal wetlands, and spring recharge areas.

  • Seaman's Valley and Maroon Material Culture in Jamaica
    SEAMAN'S VALLEY AND MAROON MATERIAL CULTURE IN JAMAICA E. Kofi Agorsah ABSTRACT Seaman's Valley site was one of the few known places in Jamaica where the Maroons came into face to face combat with the colonial military in a battle that featured the largest force ever sent against the Maroons. In that encounter the colonial forces were routed in a total defeat resulting in the abandonment of arms and ammunition and personnel. This paper compares the material culture from the Seaman's Valley site and Nanny Town. This paper will then show the significance of the longstanding strategic relationship between the two locations during the Maroon struggle for freedom and even after peace negotiations were sealed by treaties in the middle of the eighteenth century. Therefore, the Seaman's Valley site is depicted not only as a unique battleground, with a strategic and spatial relationship with Nanny Town in the Blue Mountains. It also, was a special brewing ground for the formation and transformation of Maroon material culture in eastern Jamaica. KEY WORDS: Jamaica, Maroons, Resistance, Seaman's Valley. INTRODUCTION One of the challenges faced by Maroons was the ability to forge new ways of life and new societies and to be able to maintain their hard-won freedom. Nevertheless, only a few Maroon groups survived. Maroon history informs us of how many African-Caribbean movements failed to survive: examples include the Afro-Caribs of Mt. Misery in St. Kitts in the 1630s, the so-called "rebel Negroes" of Barbados in 1648, the Antiguan Maroons of the Shekerley Mountain in 1685 and a small band of Maroons in the Blue Hills of Central Providence of the Bahamas in the 1780s.
