Project Objective To develop a framework for the rehabilitation and improved management of coastal ecosystems Components The overall goal of the study is to preserve the coastal ecosystems’ goods and services by providing valuable information for improved management and rehabilitation. Specific components are: 1) The valuation of coastal ecosystems: mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs 2) Determination of the pre-Hurricane Dean status of coastal ecosystems 3) Assessment of the impact of Hurricane Dean on the coastal ecosystem 4) Development of rehabilitative measures for the ecosystems Key Project Outputs The key outputs expected are: 1. Data/Information on the pre-Hurricane Dean status of coastal ecosystems. 2. Value of coastal ecosystems to Jamaica. 3. Information on the Impact of Hurricane Dean on the coastal ecosystems. 4. Recommended measures to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems. 5. Removal of lost fishing gears. Geographic Scope Port Royal and Port Royal Cays (Kingston), Port Antonio (Portland), Old Harbour Bay (St. Catherine), Rocky Point (Clarendon), Ocho Rios and Discovery Bay (St. Ann), Negril (Westmoreland & Hanover), Montego Bay (St. James). Duration: 6 months 86
PROJECT TITLE: TO REHABILITATE DRAINAGE NETWORK Sector - Infrastructure Hurricane Dean caused extensive damage to road and drainage infrastructure in the parishes of St. Thomas, St. Andrew, St. Catherine, Clarendon, St. Mary, Portland, St. Ann and St. James. In addition to limiting access to some areas, there were threats to lives and property. The main objective of the project is to undertake river training and gabion works to protect drainage network in the affected parishes. Specific activities include: bunding, desilting, gabion works, sea defence, and road restoration. PROJECT: HOUSING REHABILITATION Sector - Housing The considerable damage in the housing sector was mainly to houses where the roof was designed and built by tradesmen. In order to strengthen the building tradition of builders, training in hurricane resistant construction practices should be available to them. Efforts are underway to carry out training in the affected areas, but this needs strengthening and application across the country. An area of emphasis should be promoting the use of certified/qualified builders or tradesmen during construction. Objectives 1. To develop relevant courses for building tradesmen in disaster resistant construction methods and offer the courses at the local and national levels 2. To upgrade and reprint and disseminate training manual 3. To create a register of qualified construction workers HEART Trust NTA will be integral to the designing; delivery and institutionalization of the courses. 87
