Ab: The need for a reasonable response capability stems from factors such as the region's complex network of petroleum production points and transportation routes, dependence of national economies on the pristine marine environments that attract tourists, and the vulnerability of many of the nations to pollution incidents resulting from lack of preparedness. The problems of improving response capability in a region having over three dozen governments are immense. Nevertheless, through recent events, the region's governments are recognizing the importance of having an agency responsible for environmental matters, a response organisation, a pollution contingency plan, and adequate legislation to provide the jurisdiction necessary to prevent and to take action to control discharges into the marine environment.

Au: Naranjit, S; Winter, D. E. Ti: A computer model for catchment simulation and storm sewer design. So: West Indian Journal of Engineering; 11(1):21-30, 1986. Ab: A catchment model has been developed to facilitate flood prediction in tropical catchment areas of moderate size. The catchment may incorporate a network of natural and artificial channels as well as storm sewer pipes, roadside gutters and ponding areas. Draw-off from the primary system may be affected through grate inlets or curb-inlet openings in roadway gutters, and user-defined in-flow hydrographs may be injected into the system at specified modes. Experience with this model for various catchments in Trinidad over the past four years has confirmed the reliability of the model both for catchment simulation and for storm-sewer analysis.

Ab: Static bioassay tests were conducted with three oil dispersants at two salinities (32.0±2 g/litre and 16.0±1 g/litre) using fingerlings of the mullet MUGIL sp. and the hermit crabs CLIBINARIUS AFRICANUS as test animals. The acute toxicity was estimated both by graphical interpolation and the approximate nomographic method of Litchfield & Wilcoxon (1949) and is reported as the 24h, 48h and 96h LC (1) 50 (Lloyd&Tooby, 1979) values. Conco-K was the most toxic, and BP 1,100X the least toxic to the two test organisms at the two test salinities. Simple observations were made on the behavioural responses of the test animals. The role of acute toxicity data in ecological predictions is briefly discussed. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 753 Au: Kjerfve, R; Magill, K. E; Porter, J. M; Woodley, Jeremy D. Ti: Hindcasting of hurricane characteristics and observed storm damage on a fringing reef, Jamaica, West Indies. So: Journal of Marine Research; 44 119-48, 1986. Ab: Hurricane Allen is one of the most severe hurricanes on record and caused extensive damage throughout the Caribbean in early August 1980. Coral reefs along the north coast of Jamaica were devastated by the hurricane-induced waves. As in the case of most hurricanes, no wave measurements were made. We have computed the wind field and hindcast the deep water wave characteristics as the storm impacted the fringing reef at Discovery Bay on the north central coast of Jamaica. The deep water waves propagated into shallow water on the forereef and transformed as a result of shoaling and refraction. We found that significant wave height at a given time varied by a factor of 2.6 and that incident wave power for the duration of the storm varied by a factor or 7 along a 3 km section of Discovery Bay forereef due to variations in local bathymetry. Maximum hindcast breakers reached a height of 11.5 s. Observations of the most intense reef damage coincided with areas on the eastern forereef experiencing the highest breakers. We speculate that the degree of reef damage is a function of how much time has elapsed since the previous storm rather than the frequency of hurricanes at a locality. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

The dust originates over Africa and is transported across the Atlantic Ocean by the easterly winds during the summer months. Analysis of the dust has shown that it contains biological material and it is possible that this may have effects upon ecological systems and human health.

Ab: The unusual geotechnical and hydrological characteristics of the tropical clay soils involved in landslides in Dominica resulting from Hurricanes David and Frederic are examined. These highly porus soils exhibit very high field moisture contents (42-180 percent for allophane latosols), void ratios are very high (up to 6 for allophanes) and therefore field dry unit weights are very low (5.47 -10.01 N/M 3 for allophanes). Although predrying does not greatly affect the Atterberg limits of Kandoids, it causes great reductions in the limits of allophane rich soils, the degree of difference depending on the allophone content. Allophone soils also form a distinct group on Cassagrande’s plasticity chart, falling below the A-line as liquid limit increases. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: Data on deforestation in Jamaica published by the United Nations (FAO/UNEP) and widely quoted in the literature on the tropical environment, has been shown to be unreliable and based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes and extent of the process. A sample survey of humid tropical forests in Jamaica indicates a 3.3 percent per annum rate of deforestation 1980-1986, but that despite significant commercial lumber production, large clear fellings are rare and most modification of the forest is due to expansion of small farming and pastoral activity. The modal cleared is 20 to 25 hectares. As uncontrolled deforestation is adversely affecting watersheds and inducing serious flooding, some form of control and management is urgently needed.

There is an increasingly acrimonious debate as to the degree to which the changes are anthropogenic and due to misuse of the environment. All evidence points to overexploitation of essentially fragile island ecosystems. Field studies and some sampling of time-sequential satellite imagery, including Landsat, suggest that a ajudicious combination of remotely sensed and ground verified data is useful in documenting these disturbing trends in land surface climatology. A more detailed programme of study is envisaged. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ti: Frequency distribution of hurricanes and tropical storms in Jamaica. Pub: Kingston; National Meteorological Servce; 1986.

Ab: Records from 1900 to 1980 of hurricanes and tropical storms occurring over the 5-degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 15N80W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a =0.51 and =0.54 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

Ab: The Cooperative Republic of Guyana is located outside the earthquake belt and the hurricane zone. This means that disaster preparedness and development of disaster plans should focus on risk rather than those traditionally encounter in the Caribbean Region. It is therefore understandable that disaster awareness develops at a different from that in the island countries, which year after year have to face the threat of natural disasters. The health sector in any case, has to be prepared for mass casualty incidents caused by air/road traffic accidents, explosions, fires etc. It is for this reason the PAHO Office in Georgetown, requested project support for a training exercise for health and hospital staff for the development of a disaster plan-outline for the Georgetown Hospital. Regionalization of the health services, which is vigorously persued, presented the opportunity to also review the role and functions of the regional health facilities in the event of a disaster.

Pub: Blacksburg; Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; 1986. 139. Th: Submitted to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University presented for the degree M.Sc. Ab: The three principal objectives of this study were: (i) to identify the levels of agricultural project planning where an economic analysis, utilizing natural disaster risk information, could be introduced, (ii) to examine methods of incorporating natural disaster risk into economic analyses of agricultural projects, and (iii) to include this information in an economic analysis of an agricultural project, and to consider the potential effects of such information in planning. Several economic analysis methods were investigated, and four were selected to incorporate natural disaster information into the planning of a case study project in St. Lucia. Results from cut-off period, discount rate adjustment and sensitivity analyses suggest that disaster information can be readily incorporated into agricultural project planning. This information greatly increases the amount of information available to project planners. Results from the mean-variance analysis suggested that disaster mitigation options could increase the benefits from a project. In turn, these more stable benefits could improve the development process in developing nations. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster And Emergency Response Agency.

Ab: A survey of beach and coastal water oil pollution was carried out on the island of Grand Cayman between November 1980 and September 1983. The median weight of beached tar on the Windward East Coast was 424 g.per meter shoreline, as compared to 0.3 g/m on the Leeward West Coast, with intermediate values on North and South Coasts: no progressive temporal trend was evident. coastal waters, median levels of floating tar and dissolved/dispersed hydrocarbons respectively were 0.05 mg/meter square and 0.05 micro gram/1 with maxima of 10.8 mg/m square and 0.04 micro gram/1.Evidence from aerial surveys of oil discharges at sea, and from examination of beached tar for physical state and ultraviolet fluorescence spectrum, combines to indicate that the majority of oil pollution experienced in the Cayman Islands is attributable to crude oil discharges from the tanker traffic in the North-West Caribbean.
