AGP Executive Report
Last update: a few seconds agoCoastal Erosion: Floodwater is covering part of Seaview Drive in Lucea after waves and erosion damaged the seawall, disrupting a key route between Montego Bay and Negril. Temporary repairs are planned, but the damage highlights the risks facing Jamaica’s coast. Wildlife: NEPA and the Jamaica Observer will launch Fi Wi Land on October 19, with its first episode spotlighting bats. Jamaica has 21 bat species, including five found nowhere else, and they help control insects, pollinate plants and spread seeds. Forest Protection: The Forestry Department has received a drone and forest-management system to improve mapping, monitor environmental pressures and target restoration. Water Security: Recent heavy rain has not ended the drought; Mona Reservoir stood at 35.6 per cent, and the water minister warned that one shower cannot replenish major storage facilities. Hurricane Recovery: The CDF and UNDP say recovery work includes clearing debris, recycling, restoring wetlands and mangroves, and supporting livelihoods in communities affected by Hurricane Melissa.
