EFJ funds study to halt erosion of Negril shoreline

The Environmental Foundation of Jamaica has approved a loan of just less than six million dollars to fund a study of the Negril shoreline.
The study, which is in its final stage, is aimed at identifying tangible measures to halt the erosion of the Negril shoreline in Westmoreland.

Acting Minister of Industry and Tourism, Dr. Wykeham McNeill, says the Negril Beach Restoration Committee is in the process of selecting a suitable vendor to carry out the work.

Once identified, the consulting agency will have nine months to complete the assignment.

To halt erosion is one thing, to restore the beach anywhere what it was 10 to 20 years ago is what is needed.
To see buildings jutting out in the sea is testimony to the amount of beachfront lost due to erosion.
The threat is on real that could make Negril beach extinct as is the threat on of melting ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctic.
