REVISED ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

1 Introduction

1.1 General

In November 1999, Hurricane Lenny formed just south of Jamaica and traveled on a northeast track through the Leeward Islands. A review of all tropical storm and hurricane tracks dating back to 1871 reveals that Lenny was one of perhaps two systems over the past 129 years that has moved on an easterly or northeasterly track in this area. Hurricane Lenny became a Category 4 hurricane with sustained wind speeds of over 150 mph which, combined with its unusual track, resulted in high waves pounding the usually sheltered west coasts of the islands. Physical damage estimates are in the order of $269 million to coastal infrastructure, coastal communities and businesses. Much of the damage occurred in the small island economies of the four Eastern Caribbean countries of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia and Grenada, which are located as shown in Figure 1 in Appendix A.

In response to the damage inflicted by Hurricane Lenny, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has designed a Special Objective (SpO) project for these four countries to assist in their recovery. The SpO has four objectives or Intermediate Results (IR), as follows:

C IR1: Reconstruction of key defense systems and selected sections of coastal roads.

C IR2: Training of key personnel in specialized areas.

C IR3: Development of coastal management plans in selected areas.

C IR4: Reactivate economic activities.

This document addresses IR2, and provides the needs assessment and planning for a Coastal Infrastructure Design, Construction and Maintenance (CDCM) Training Program that will be conducted by the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and a US-Based University.

The preparation of this report was carried out by Selpeco Westmar Consultants, L.L.C., based in Kirkland, Washington, USA, and Smith Warner International Limited, based in Kingston, Jamaica and Barbados.

1.2 Description of Hurricane Lenny

The track of Hurricane Lenny is shown in Figure 2 in Appendix A.

The hurricane was a late season storm that formed in the western Caribbean, south of the Cayman Islands. It began moving in a northeasterly direction towards Jamaica, but then veered to the southeast. It subsequently resumed a northeasterly track traveling towards the islands of Anguilla and Antigua. South of the US Virgin Island of St. Croix, it increased in strength to a Category 4 hurricane (November 17, 1999). The eye of the hurricane tracked between Anguilla and Antigua, dropping in intensity to a Category 3 storm between November 18 and 19, 1999.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hurricane forecasters describe Category 4 as follows:

Category 4: Winds 130 mph to 155 mph. Extensive curtain wall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Major erosion of beach areas. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain continuously lower than 10 ft. above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas inland as far as 6 miles.

Hurricane Lenny traveled from west to east, which is opposite to the normal direction of Caribbean hurricanes. The track exposed the leeward sides of the Eastern Caribbean Islands to high waves and storm surge.

1.3 Consultant's Scope of Work

The four tasks that are being undertaken and that comprise the Scope of Works are as follows:

Task 1: Establish contacts in Eastern Caribbean countries to obtain input on the existing and desired capacity for CDCM.

Task 2: Establish contacts and prepare recommendations on US-Based Universities that could partner with the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Trinidad and Tobago.

Page 2 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

Task 3: Meet with the UWI Faculty of Engineering to obtain input on the training program. In addition, meet with the Caribbean Development Bank and Consulting Engineers Partnership (CEP) in Barbados after the meetings in Trinidad.

Task 4: Prepare a report giving recommendations on the training program.

2 Evaluation of Capacity for CDCM

2.1 Development of Questionnaire

In the development of the questionnaire, a first-principles approach was taken, in which it is recognized that the primary source of risk to coastal infrastructure is from hurricanes, with impacts arising primarily from hurricane waves, beach erosion/scour and storm surge. This approach resulted in the identification of five primary requirement areas where training may be needed, in order to lead to the facilitation of CDCM. The five areas are outlined in the following sub-sections.

CDCM Requirement No. 1 - Understanding of hurricane trends in the Leeward and Windward Islands (The cause of disaster). This includes the following:

C Knowledge of the National Hurricane Center database of storms dating back to 1876, with the recognition that the quality of the database has improved over the last half century.

C Proper hindcasting of hurricane waves arranged probably on a sector-by-sector basis. The hindcast could be a detailed 2-dimensional, or it could be a parametric hindcast.

C Transformation of the hurricane wave climate from deep water to a nearshore climate.

C External analysis of the hindcast wave climate so that a design wave can be extracted.

Suggested Questions:

1. Does the Department of Public Works or Planning, on each island, have a recognized design criteria that it requires, or uses, in the approval of the design and construction of coastal infrastructure?

2. Has a Coastal Zone Management Plan been developed for the island, such that nearshore design wave climates are known on an island-wide basis? If not, how is nearshore design wave data generated for coastal infrastructure?

Page 4 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

Anticipated Training Needs:

1. Review of hurricane statistics for each sector of the Eastern Caribbean under consideration.

2. Methods for estimating design waves in the nearshore area, given that no wave hindcasting or transformation capabilities may exist.

CDCM Requirement No. 2 - Mapping of Coastal Infrastructure (What can be affected by the disaster). This includes the following:

C The location, extent and condition of coastal infrastructure either on an island-wide basis, or on the east or west coast. This will depend on the extent of existing development and on proposals for future development that may be a part of a land use plan.

C Representation of the data on digital mapping is desirable, or at least, on 1:2500 scale mapping.

C Knowledge of the types of coastal infrastructure.

C Coastal infrastructure could be main roads adjacent to the shoreline, tourism infrastructure, beach areas, or residential and commercial buildings.

Suggested Questions:

1. Does mapping exist for the coastline of the island, in digital format?

2. If not, are there survey maps at a scale of 1:2500?

3. Has mapping of coastal infrastructure been carried out, such that the length of roadways adjacent to the shoreline is known? What is the extent of tourism infrastructure and beach areas?

4. Are there development plans in existence that indicate the possible future uses for the coastline?

Page 5 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

Anticipated Training Needs:

1. Interpretation of aerial photography and ground truthing of data.

2. Methods of estimating the condition of coastal infrastructure, specifically seawalls and revetments.

C Sediment types and transport characteristics. C Benthic substrates in the relevant nearshore areas. C Nearshore wave climates for design and, perhaps, day-to-day conditions. C Tidal fluctuations and storm surge estimates. C Effect of existing and proposed sea defenses on shoreline processes.

Suggested Questions:

1. Is there an inventory of nearshore wave climate data?

2. Is there knowledge of benthic substrates?

3. Have tides been measured for a long-term period? Are there operating tide gauges? If yes, has this data been analyzed by a harmonic analysis?

4. Are there any estimates of storm surge for extreme events such as hurricanes?

5. Has the OAS/USAID model TAOS been used for predicting storm surge?

6. Are there any estimates of global sea level rise that are applicable to the islands in question?

7. What information is known on coastal processes such as sediment transport characteristics?

8. Are Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures used or called for in the design and construction of coastal infrastructure?

9. Are set-backs used as a form of coastal protection? If so, what are these and how were they derived?

Page 6 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

Anticipated Training Needs:

1. Identification of benthic substrate types, with longer term training in identification of threatened ecosystems.

2. Updating of the deployment locations and data base collections of Caribbean Planning for Adaption to Global Climate Change (CPACC) gauges throughout the Caribbean. Training in the downloading of data from the CPACC website.

3. The use of TAOS to give generalized, or island-wide predictions of storm surge. The use of 1-line modeling, such as sBEACH, for the prediction of the wave set-up component of storm surges at specific locations.

4. Provision of reasonable estimates of global sea level rise for these islands.

5. Methods of estimating coastal process characteristics such as sediment transport directions and order of magnitude rates.

C Topographic surveys.

C Bathymetric surveys and/or wading shots.

C Soil investigations.

C Use of the previously determined design nearshore wave climate to develop preliminary engineering design requirements of shore protection. Shore protection structures could be: revetments; seawalls; groynes; breakwaters; beach nourishment; or application of computed setback distances.

Page 7 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C Preliminary costing of works, which will require a knowledge of:

6. Is there a list of approved contractors that have known capability in the construction of sea defense works? Do these contractors have marine equipment?

7. If there is a need for physical modeling? Where is this usually carried out? What is the capability for numerical modeling of processes?

8. What form of contract is usually used?

9. Who usually ensures compliance with environmental requirements during construction?

Anticipated Training Needs:

1. The carrying out of bathymetric surveys and/or in the interpretation of such data.

Page 10 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

2.2 Agencies/Companies Contacted

To provide input into the needs assessment, the project team prepared a questionnaire based on the above requirements. The questionnaire is included in Appendix C to this report, along with a covering letter prepared by Jan Vermeiren of Organization of American States.

Selpeco Westmar and Smith Warner International assembled a list of about 100 possible contacts from their existing data bases and various directories available on the Internet and in the Yellow Pages. From this information a short-list of 51 contacts was developed, to which the questionnaire was sent by fax and e-mail. Follow-up telephone, e-mail and fax communications were utilized to obtain the maximum number of responses to the questionnaire.

The long and short-lists of contacts are included in Appendix D, together with an additional list of possible attendees to the courses that were identified during the contact process.

2.3 Summary of Responses

Based on the representative sampling of returned questionnaires, and augmented by the local/regional experience of SWI/Selpeco Westmar, the following trends are apparent:

C Candidates for training will be both engineers and non-engineers.

C CZM Planning should be encouraged in the islands. Of the four considered, only St. Lucia has a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) in place and only for its northwest shoreline, although this is presently being extended. One is presently being prepared in Antigua at the northwest shoreline.

C Good digital mapping appears to exist throughout most of the islands.

C There is a need for benthic substrate mapping to develop a baseline "picture", with the possible exception of Trinidad. In St. Lucia, benthic substrate mapping has been carried out for the northwest shoreline.

C The EIA process is widely used throughout the islands, although enforcement associated with this is limited.

Page 11 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C Design standards need to be more widely developed. No general standard is used in Trinidad, for example, while the 1 in 50 Year event is used in Dominica and Grenada. In St. Lucia, the 1 in 10 up to the 1 in 50 Year events are used for design.

C There may be a need for upgrading of enforcement legislation in planning offices.

C Need to dovetail with CPACC regarding regional network of tide gauges.

C Need to identify existing regional bathymetric surveyors and to encourage training.

C Of structures used in the coastal zone, gabions have the poorest performance.

C Inspection and maintenance of built structures may be carried out, but is sketchy and irregular.

C Need to incorporate more widespread use of TAOS, but should be accompanied by local "ground truthing" at each island.

C Civil Engineering Consulting firms usually design coastal protection works.

C Material testing labs exist in some of the islands, with more extensive facilities occurring in Trinidad.

C The FIDIC contract is widely used throughout the region.

C Set backs are widely used throughout the islands, however the technical basis for these is often unclear.

C There is a good regional pool of contractors who are capable of constructing works in the coastal zone.

C More esoteric computer and/or hydraulic modeling of coastal phenomena is usually undertaken by a handful of regional specialist consultants, and largely by foreign firms.

2.4 Possible Attendees at Courses

Targeted participants include the long list of contacts and the list of possible additional attendees identified as a result of the contact process, as provided in Appendix D.

It is recommended that the UWI establish attendance at the sessions by advertising the courses in the participating countries and other islands in the region several months in advance of the courses.

The UWI should contact the potential participants identified in Appendix D individually by phone, mail, e-mail or in person well in advance of the course sessions.

Page 14 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

The main points that were presented for discussion are summarized as follows:

C Hurricanes normally go from east to west; Hurricane Lenny was one of perhaps only two Tropical Cyclones in approximately 130 years for which tracks of Tropical Cyclones are available, to go from west to east across the Lesser Antilles. Norman Allyn noted that a similar event occurred in 1984 when Hurricane Klaus, while still a Tropical Storm, proceeded from southwest to northeast past the east coast of Puerto Rico (refer to Tropical Cyclones of the North Atlantic Ocean, 1871 - 1998, NOAA). In general, Tropical Cyclones originating in the Caribbean Sea cross the Greater Antilles on northeast tracks more frequently than cyclones originating in the Atlantic Ocean. Examples of these include tropical storm and hurricane events in 1905, 1909, 1912, 1932, 1939, 1949, 1955, 1981, 1991, 1994, and 1996.

C Hurricane Lenny was briefly a Category 4 Hurricane and not only inflicted significant damage to the four participating countries, but to other islands in the region, including Trinidad and Tobago. In Trinidad, boats at anchor in Chaguaramas were damaged. In Tobago, the breakwater at the Coco Reef Hotel was destroyed.

C Norman Allyn and David Smith provided a Power Point presentation illustrating the preliminary needs assessment. The presentation included the track of Hurricane Lenny as shown in Figure 2 in Appendix A, and the damage inflicted on the coastal infrastructure of the four participating countries as illustrated in Photograph Nos. 1 through 10 in Appendix B. Additional photographs and figures were presented to illustrate designs that suffered no damage from Hurricane Lenny.

C Jan Vermeiren presented the results of the TAOS model runs for the region and for individual islands. By analyzing 116 years of historical hurricane data, but not including Hurricane Lenny, Watson Technical Services produced plots of the maximum expected wind speeds, storm surge and wave heights for 10, 25, 50 and 100 year return periods. Plots of the 1 in 100 year return period wind speeds, wave heights and storm surge for the Eastern Caribbean Basin are provided in Figures 3, 4 and 5 in Appendix A. The wind, surge and wave heights generated by Hurricane Lenny are shown in Figures 6 to 11 in Appendix A , which indicate that the storm surge and wave heights from Hurricane Lenny exceed the 1 in 100 year return period for the four participating countries.

Page 15 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C TAOS is installed on a super computer and is used for live forecasting. It has been tested using NOAA wave buoys, with the predicted waves using TAOS found to be within 10% of the NOAA recorded waves for 80% of the data points.

C Jan Vermeiren noted that another source of information that could be used in the training program is the Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Global Climate Change (CPACC).

C Coastal Zone Planning (CZP) is currently not widely instituted in any of the four participating countries. Barbados is the only country in the region that has CZP for its entire shoreline. In St. Lucia, a Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) has been prepared for the northwest coast. Presently, this is to be expanded to include the Gros Islet area, and also, a CZMP is to be prepared for the south coast town of Soufriere. Finally, a CZMP is also underway for the northwest coast of Antigua.

C Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and CZP require education, political will, enforcement and codes. Setbacks and the effect of structures on the environment will be discussed in the Training Programs.

C The Caribbean Uniform Building Code (CUBIC) was discussed. Coastal structures are not part of the Code, which is a major deficiency. Compton Deane was of the opinion that standards for coastal infrastructure should be included in CUBIC. Applicable Codes for coastal structures will be presented in the Training Programs.

C The concept of risk and return period should be addressed in the courses.

C Monitoring and maintenance will be presented in the Training Programs.

C The needs assessment program will focus on its completion over the next nine months, and the requirements of the participating countries.

C The objective is to train 30 to 100 people from the four islands. Participation from other islands will be encouraged, with some cost associated with their attendance.

C The UWI has a contract with OAS to conduct the course. The UWI has experienced teachers within and outside the Eastern Caribbean region.

Page 16 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C The CDCM Training Program Advisory Group consists of the individuals in Table 3.1, with the exception of Mr. Blackwood.

C The course outline was developed and is provided in Appendix E.

C Bathymetric surveying is taught by the UWI as a part of its Land Surveying course, under Civil Engineering.

C The UWI is to introduce into its curricula, a Graduate Program called "Natural Hazards Engineering".

C It was agreed that the UWI would contact the following three US-Based Universities for interest in participating in the training program, and to determine their competencies:

C Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), contact Dale Morgan. MIT has a strong ocean engineering program and existing links to UWI.

C Texas A&M University, contact Billy Edge. Texas A&M has an existing outreach program with the US Army Corps of Engineers Water Engineering Station (WES) at Vicksburg, Mississippi.

C University of Florida (UF), contact Bob Deane. Florida is "in the region", and so UF personnel will likely have a good understanding of the design issues involved.

C The UWI will rank the universities.

C A copy of the letter to the US-Based Universities is attached in Appendix F.

C Norman Allyn and David Smith will review these universities and other Florida Universities to determine if there are any other qualified universities in Florida that should also be invited to bid.

C Industry participation in the training of practicing engineers in the region was discussed. Smith Warner International, with offices in Jamaica and Barbados, will lecture on practical design issues at the course modules to be conducted at the participating islands. Selpeco Westmar has designed a number of piers and sea walls in the region and will lecture on codes and design issues at the course module to be conducted in Trinidad.

Page 17 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C The schedule discussed requires that the final module be conducted no later than about September 2001. The first three modules will be conducted in the period of May through August 2001.

C Norman Allyn arranged with Compton Deane to jointly meet with several prominent engineering and hydrographic surveying companies to obtain additional completed questionnaires while Mr. Allyn was in Trinidad. These meetings were conducted on December 19, 2000 and are summarized in Appendix G.

3.2 Caribbean Development Bank

A meeting was held at the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), with Ms. Cheryl Dixon and Mr. Clairvair Squires. The points that came out of this meeting are summarized as follows:

C EIA's are required for all projects that are funded by the Bank.

C There is a perceived need for more long-term climatological data for use in the design of coastal infrastructure. In general, there should be proper data collection and information gathering, in order to manage the environment.

C The CDB has tried to influence the planning process in order to get issues such as set-back adequately applied. These attempts have not met with much success, largely due to political influence.

C The CDB is familiar with TAOS, but has not employed its use directly.

C The CDB sees a lack of human resources in the area of Land Use and/or Coastal Zone Planning, and for the collection, interpretation and application of coastal data.

C There is a perceived problem related to the separation between Integrated Coastal Zone Management and the general planning function.

C There has been little or no follow up data on the issues raised by the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Conference.

Page 18 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C There is little or no monitoring of coastal infrastructure and there is a lack of "teeth" in the enforcement of legislation related to it.

C Ms. Dixon suggested that the target audience for Training Module 1 be made less broad. Focus only on those who can make a difference in their organizations.

3.3 Tony Gibbs/CEP

Mr. Tony Gibbs was interviewed regarding his experience in the field of CDCM. The following points emerged from this interview, in summary format.

C Mr. Gibbs is concerned that there has been a lack of focus on Coastal Engineering in the Caribbean. In his opinion, this should be an area of excellence for engineers, both within the region and internationally, since these are issues that are dealt with on a day-to-day basis.

C There is a need to have the UWI filling this requirement.

C There is a need for proper collection and analysis of data throughout the islands.

C The community does not take Coastal Engineering issues seriously enough. In addition, the public sector does not demand sufficiently detailed information from practicing engineers.

C There is a need to have someone with some coastal engineering knowledge in each island.

C To date, the experience of Mr. Gibbs has been that economic considerations very often drive the design to a 1 in 20 year event.

4 Outline of Training Program/Short Courses

4.1 Overall Objective of Program

The overall goal of the Special Objective (SpO) is to provide immediate assistance to participating countries that suffered from Hurricane Lenny, and to achieve a faster recovery from future hurricane disasters through training.

Intermediate Result 2 (IR2), the focus of the present study, will train key personnel from the participating countries and other islands in the region, in specialized areas. An additional benefit of preparing and presenting a series of short courses on CDCM in conjunction with a US-Based University, is that the course content can be modified and used in the establishment of a Coastal Engineering course at the UWI in Trinidad.

In order to offer the course content to as wide an audience as possible, it is proposed that each module will be held in a different island. This is considered to be important, as there are specific areas of CDCM that may be more developed in any one island, as compared to another. For example, the concept of Coastal Zone Planning and the derivation and application of design standards may be more used in St. Lucia than in the other three islands, simply because they have a partial Coastal Zone Management Plan. In Dominica and Grenada, however, extensive designs have been developed for sea defense works, so there is already an awareness in the public and private sectors of the planning and design process that must accompany this type of infrastructure.

4.2 Optimum CDCM Training Program Structure

The optimum training program structure was discussed at the meeting in Trinidad on December 15 and 16, 2000 and resulted in the course outline attached in Appendix E. The following points summarize the requirements for an optimal CDCM training program:

C The training program should be completed in the year 2001.

C The training program should address the needs of the individual islands and the region.

C The training program should offer general courses appealing to a broad spectrum of stakeholders in each of the four participating countries.

Page 20 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C The training program should have a more in-depth coastal engineering course, to be conducted in St. Lucia.

C The training program should have a more in-depth course on monitoring and maintenance, to be conducted in Grenada.

C The training program should have a detailed course on design for engineers from each of the four participating countries and other islands in the region, to be presented in Trinidad.

C The training program should have classroom and field components.

5 Role of a US-Based University in Training Program

5.1 Criteria for Selecting a US-Based University

The criteria for selecting a US-Based University to partner with the UWI was discussed at the meeting held with the UWI in Trinidad. The agreed criteria are presented as follows:

C Complements the UWI in providing coastal, planning and environmental engineering expertise that could be employed to augment the existing teaching staff, engineering expertise and facilities at the UWI.

C Familiar with the coastal issues of small islands.

C Interest in reaching out.

C Cost considerations should be taken into account. The OAS and UWI want the best deal in terms of value, which is a balance of cost and the above three criteria.

5.2 Development of a Short-List of Suitable US-Based Universities

Based on the criteria outlined in the previous section, the following universities have been selected as potential candidates for the task. As a result of the meetings in Trinidad with the faculty of the UWI, an initial three US-Based Universities were selected by the UWI. Subsequently, this initial listing of three was expanded to five, these being listed below:

C Texas A&M University (TAMU) C Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) C University of Florida (UF) C Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) C Old Dominion University (ODU)

In evaluating these five universities, the following points were noted:

C TAMU has the experience in setting up a one-year coastal engineering education reach-out program for the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1989.

Page 22 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C The coastal and ocean engineering program in TAMU has a faculty team that provides courses for a wide range of coastal engineering topics including ocean wave mechanics, coastal structures, coastal sediment process, as well as offshore structures and hydrodynamics.

C UF has a strong faculty and coastal program that provide many coastal related courses. These courses include port and harbor engineering, hydrodynamics of coastal and ocean structures, coastal and offshore structures, coastal process, and coastal sediment transport.

C At MIT, the ocean engineering / naval architecture and marine engineering program has a talented faculty that specializes in ocean science, marine hydrodynamics, turbulent marine flow and design of ocean systems. The course information in the Department of Ocean Engineering at MIT indicates that most courses are related to theoretical background, numerical modeling and marine hydrodynamics. Courses for coastal engineering at MIT are limited.

C FIT's ocean engineering program has a relatively small faculty team in which only two faculty members are identified as specializing in coastal structures, beach erosion control, inlet and harbor dynamics, marine instrumentation, water waves, coastal monitoring and beach processes.

C ODU has a one-person faculty team in the area of Coastal Engineering. Topics covered include: coastal hydrodynamics; coastal processes/structures; computational hydraulics/turbulence; dredging engineering; estuary hydrodynamics; and water wave dynamics.

The preceding preliminary evaluation of potential university candidates indicates that TAMU and UF are the better choices as partners to carry out the course development activities in UWI. The final selection, however, will be made once the responses are received and evaluated.

5.3 Role of an Industry Partner

In addition to having a US University partner with the UWI to prepare and present the training course modules, it is recommended that the inclusion of an industry partner would be beneficial to the development of Coastal Engineering expertise in the Caribbean. To this end, it is suggested that Smith Warner International and Selpeco Westmar continue their involvement in the training process. Specifically, it is envisioned that SWI will work with UWI final year Civil Engineering students, to investigate research topics that are of primary relevance to the region. Through this interaction, it is anticipated that a strong linkage will develop between the course curriculum and the needs of industry.

Page 23 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

It is recommended that Norman Allyn of Selpeco Westmar, and David Smith of Smith Warner International, be involved in the preparation and presentation of course material. In particular, the presentation by Selpeco Westmar will focus on the design of coastal and marine structures, while the SWI presentation will focus on the relevant coastal processes.

6 Preliminary Schedule for Program Implementation

A preliminary schedule for the implementation of the CDCM Training Program follows:

C The courses should be advertised well in advance of the sessions, commencing before about March 1, 2001.

C Module 1, on Coastal Zone/Island Systems Management, for a broad range of participants numbering in the order of 15 per island, could be conducted during the month of May 2001, with the following proposed one week sessions in each country:

C May 7 to 11, 2001 on Antigua C May 14 to 18, 2001 on Dominica C May 21 to 25, 2001 on St. Lucia C May 28 to June 1, 2001 on Grenada

C Module 2, on Coastal Defense Systems, could be conducted in one week sessions on St. Lucia and Dominica with the following proposed schedule:

C June 18 to 22, 2001 on St. Lucia for what is anticipated to be a large audience of planners and engineers numbering approximately 20 to 30 participants.

C July 16 to 20, 2001 on Dominica for what is anticipated to be a smaller audience of public and private engineers, and will include classroom and field portions.

C Module 3, on Monitoring and Maintenance, could be conducted on Grenada around August 13 to 17, 2001 for approximately 20 to 30 participants. Classroom and field portions will be included in this module.

C Module 4, on Design of Marine Structures, could be conducted on Trinidad around September 24 to 28, 2001 for approximately 20 participants of public and private sector engineers.

This preliminary schedule allows for preparation and set-up between modules. The final schedule developed by the UWI and the US-Based University should account for the availability of personnel and facilities.

7 Summary and Recommendations

7.1 Summary

The following points summarize the work that was performed in this project:

C A questionnaire was developed and issued to determine the needs for each of the participating countries and the region in general.

C A meeting was held at the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) between personnel from their Planning Department and Smith Warner International personnel. Follow up interviews with the head of the CDB's Engineering Department, were also conducted.

C A meeting was conducted in Trinidad with OAS, USAID, UWI, Selpeco Westmar and Smith Warner International personnel in attendance. The meeting accomplished the following:

C Selpeco Westmar and Smith Warner International presented the preliminary needs assessment.

C The CDCM Training Program objectives, course content, location and target participants were developed.

C The role of the UWI in organizing and administering the courses, and preparing course material, was defined.

C The criteria for a US-Based University to partner with UWI were developed.

C A short-list of US-Based Universities was developed.

C The role of industry participation in presenting the courses was defined.

C Contacts with a short-list of four US-Based Universities were made by the UWI shortly after the Needs Assessment meetings in Trinidad.

Page 26 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

7.2 Summary of Key CDCM Issues

Of the responses to the questionnaires that were received, approximately 55% were from the private sector, 35% from Government agencies and the remaining 10% from the contracting sector. Based on the responses received, and augmented by the regional experience of Smith Warner International and Selpeco Westmar, the following trends can be seen to emerge.

C Coastal Zone Management Planning is only now being actively achieved in these islands, and should be encouraged as much as possible. Of the four islands considered, only St. Lucia has a CZMP in place, and this is only for the northwest shoreline. Plans are presently under development for other areas in St. Lucia and for the northwest coastline of Antigua. In addition, a Coastal Zone Management Unit is being implemented in Dominica.

C Good detailed mapping is available throughout the islands.

C There is a need for sound data collection, analysis and interpretation procedures. These should include oceanographic data and marine biological data. Synergy with ongoing programs such as CPACC should be encouraged.

C The EIA process has been widely adopted for use in the islands. This should be encouraged and perhaps extended so that development is required to initiate post-construction monitoring of projects.

C Design standards need to be more widely developed, accepted and applied throughout the islands, in the design of coastal infrastructure.

C The University of the West Indies has been including bathymetric surveying in its curriculum. This is to be encouraged and continued/expanded.

C Experience gained in the performance of structures used in the coastal zone has shown that gabions do not perform well.

C The inspection and maintenance of coastal structure is not a procedure that is widely carried out in these islands. Dominica appears to be the only one of the four where this occurs. Perhaps aspects of this side of the design and construction cycle could be introduced into the Engineering curriculum at the UWI.

Page 27 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C There is relatively good material testing laboratory support within the region.

C There are good quarry reserves throughout the islands.

C There is a very good pool of qualified contractors throughout the region for this type of work.

These results and trends show clearly that there is a general lack of knowledge and information in the following topics:

C Coastal Zone Management Planning.

C The need for data collection, analysis and interpretation and its place in the design cycle.

C Proper design procedures for coastal structures and infrastructure.

C Proper maintenance methods for coastal structures.

This lack of knowledge presently exists among practicing engineers, in both private and public sectors. Any remedial courses should therefore be aimed initially at this target audience, along with Planners and Architects. Follow-on courses could then be targeted at the undergraduate level, so that future generations of Caribbean engineers will be well versed in the design of structures in the marine environment, an area that is extremely important to the economies and social well-being of its people.

7.3 Outline of Recommendations for Training

As discussed in Section 7.2 preceding, training should be at two levels. This should be initially to the practicing engineering community and then at the undergraduate level. Lessons learned from the former approach could then be used to fine-tune the latter.

The following recommendations are provided for achieving a successful initial Training Program:

C The UWI should establish attendance at the sessions by the following methods:

Page 28 REVISED (80083rja/2001-02-20) ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program

C Advertise the courses in the participating countries and other islands in the region several months in advance of the courses. Advertisement could be in newspapers, and through local and/or regional engineering associations.

C The potential participants identified in Section 2.4 should be individually contacted by phone, e-mail or in person.

C The UWI should evaluate the US-Based Universities using the criteria described in Section 5.1, and circulate the results to the CDCM Advisory Committee.

C Industry participation by engineers who have designed coastal infrastructure that have successfully withstood hurricanes, including Hurricane Lenny, should present course material to provide a practical perspective in the course modules.

C The course content should be developed, once the US-Based University is selected, and then circulated to the CDCM Advisory Committee for comment and input.

Following the successful completion of this round of courses, a core lecture series should be extracted and used in the undergraduate final year Civil Engineering course.

Date: 02/21/01 Code: USDE/DivI

Ref: Training and Capacity Building for Coastal Infrastructure Strengthening in Countries Affected by Hurricane Lenny – Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada and Saint Lucia

Dear Participant:

In response to the damages suffered from Hurricane Lenny in several of the Eastern Caribbean countries, the Caribbean Regional Program of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is funding an assistance program aimed at helping participating countries with the reconstruction of sea defenses and coastal roads, and with improving their capacity to design, construct and maintain coastal infrastructure, so as to reduce losses from similar events in the future.

In July 2000, USAID signed an agreement with the OECS Secretariat for the overall management of the assistance program. Subsequently, USAID signed an agreement with the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States GS/OAS through its Unit for Sustainable Development and Environment to prepare and organize the capacity building and training component of this assistance program. The training program is aimed at engineers in the government and private sector in participating countries, and will address critical aspects of design of common coastal and marine structures, the importance of maintenance of coastal infrastructure, and the understanding of coastal processes and wave forces.

As a basis for designing the training program, the OAS has contracted the services of two well known coastal engineering consulting firms with experience in the Caribbean: Selpeco Westmar Consultants of the USA and Smith Warner International of Jamaica. These firms are tasked with preparing a needs assessment that will identify gaps among the engineering community in the region in the understanding of coastal processes, and in coastal design, construction and maintenance.

It is envisioned that the training program will consist in a small number of specialized short courses, and will also include concrete opportunities for on-the-job training in connection with actual reconstruction works financed under the OECS- USAID program. The Faculty of Engineering of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago will be involved in the organization and administration of the training program.

You have been identified as a knowledgeable informant for the coastal engineering needs assessment in the Eastern Caribbean. By filling out the attached questionnaire in a timely manner, you have an opportunity to provide valuable information that will be used in designing a training and capacity building program that will ultimately contribute to the strengthening of coastal infrastructure in your country and in the region.

I want to thank you in advance for your efforts and your contribution to this very important endeavor.

Sincerely yours

Jan C. Vermeiren Chief, Caribbean Region Unit for Sustainable Development and Environment OAS NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Dear Sir,

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAI NING IN THE CARIBBEAN COASTAL INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTUION AND MAINTENANCE

The Department of Civil Engineering, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago, is currently executing the development and delivery of a package of professional development training courses in Coastal Infrastructure Design, Construction and Maintenance (CIDCM) earmarked initially for the Caribbean Region. The programme is being done on contract to the USAID-OAS Hurricane Lenny Reconstruction Project in four Caribbean Island States, through the Engineering Institute, Faculty of Engineering, UWI, and course development activities are currently in progress.

Four short courses have been identified for development and delivery in the programme:

1) Coastal Zone/Island Systems Management; 2) Coastal Defense Systems; 3) Monitoring and Maintenance of Coastal Infrastructure; and 4) The Design of Marine Structures

1 The duration of the courses will range between three and five days each, and the issues to be addressed by each course are presented as topics in Appendix I along with the intended assignment of responsible resources. The delivery phase of the programme will begin in May 2001 and end in October 2001.

We are very interested in having a US based University as a partner in the detailed course development activities, and on this basis your University has been selected as one of three US Universities from which we are seeking responses to our request for assistance to compliment our stock of expert resources. The programme’s Advisory Committee will select the successful University on the appropriateness of the respective response, after which contractual arrangements will be addressed and the implementation of services initiated.

The request is for the contribution of your University in all, or any combination of the following areas:

· Preparation of course materials for individual topics · Collaboration in the preparation of course materials (joint preparation) · Review of course materials already prepared · Delivery of selected topics

Your response should indicate the interest and capability of your University in terms of expertise and experience in each of the above areas as they relate to the topics of each course. Comments on the coverage of the topics, assignment of responsibilities and an indication of costs at this stage, although not necessary, would be welcomed. Please note that the Advisory Committee reserves the right to configure the desired contribution to incorporate the participation of available Caribbean expertise.

You may also wish to develop materials for an entire course, and in such a case you will need to include this in your response. Such courses will have to be reviewed carefully by our Advisory Committee to ensure that it applies to the oceanographic, bathymetric, meteorological and geographic peculiarities of the Caribbean region.

We acknowledge that this time of year is a busy one for you, and our request is a bit sudden, but the demands of the project are such that we need to have a response before the 22nd January 2001. Please make every effort to respond in good time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Raymond Charles Head of Department

REVISED ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES APPENDIX G Unit for Sustainable Development and the Environment Norman Allyn Meeting with Engineering and Needs Assessment for CDCM Training Program Hydrographic Surveying Companies in Trinidad on December 19, 2000

Mr. Norman Allyn, P.Eng. of Selpeco Westmar Consultants, L.L.C. and Mr. Compton Deane, Consultant to the Organization of American States (OAS), met with representatives of two companies in Trinidad involved in Engineering and Hydrographic Surveying on December 19, 2001. As a knowledgeable informant, Mr. Deane also provided a completed questionnaire, as requested by Mr. Allyn.

The companies met with and a summary of the discussions in point form are provided as follows:

1 Interplan/ADB Consultants, Represented by Ewoud Heesterman, Engineer

C Ewoud can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected].

C Interim National Physical Planning Commission (INPPC) is the most likely home for CZM in Trinidad. Their phone and fax numbers are 627-9330 and 625-2793, respectively. The Chairman is Asad Mohammed at UWI.

C CZM is in place for a portion of the coast from Port of Spain to Chagauramas, under the auspices of the West Coast Master Plan Committee, a subcommittee of INPPC. An inventory of stakeholders has been completed, and a framework for approvals for marine works has been set up.

C EIA's are not required in other areas. The mouth of the Caroni River south of Port of Spain is being dredged in an effort to control flooding, causing damage to the environment. An EIA was not performed for this project.

C Fendrick Defour of ADB Consultants was a classmate of David Smith's, both of who studied under Compton Deane.

C A number of private and public contacts were provided.

C A completed questionnaire was provided, with a copy e-mailed to Selpeco Westmar.

2 Cane Associates Co. Ltd., Represented by Richard Cattermole, Hydrographic Surveyor

C Richard can be contacted at phone (868) 628-4302, fax (868) 628-5017 and e-mail [email protected].

C Richard's partner is David Neale, a Ph.D. student at UWI. David is currently offshore on a scientific cruise.

C The questionnaire was forwarded to CANE by Hart & Leonard, who will not be responding.

C In north-west St. Lucia, Club St. Lucia was damaged in Hurricane Lenny; contact David Crump, (758) 450-9019.

C Club Antigua should also be contacted for the courses, as they experienced a lot of damage in Hurricane Lenny and would be very interested.

C In Grenada, Mr. Ian Evans of the Port Authority would be interested in the CDCM courses.

C Hydrographic surveys in the surf zone on the west coasts of the islands are difficult to perform due to the continual wave action. By using wading shots, playing the tides, and using boats with instantaneous vertical positioning systems, it is possible to perform hydrographic surveys in the surf zone.

C A completed questionnaire will be forwarded by the end of the week.
