Documentary of Negril's eroding beach

[dash]

A better working title might be "Negrils Evolving beach". I'm not sure you should start a documentary with a conclusion and pictures are not conclusive. Talk to Gail of Treehouse. Treehouse is often cited as a benchmark of beach health. Two years ago waves were washing the bar tops at her restaurant. Last year we could have a football game between the bar and the sea. Last week the sea floor was undulated and only waist deep at the buoy line. The only constant, without measure, is change.

I agree with dash.

Last trip the beach was wider than ever. I've never seen it so wife in all of our trips.

You might want to rethink the beach erosion documentary.

What time frame and data sources are you planing to use?

But since then, the Atlantic storms have returned to their normal historical trends, allowing the beach to gain in size, which is called accretion. And as for the sea level rise, there has been one world wide - the first real satellite data collected from 1993 to 2010 shows a world wide gain of 3 millimeters.

sea levels are rising at 3 mil per year and gaining . You are in denial to think not in Negril

Sea levels don't rise evenly everywhere. This is a fact that you can independently verify. I don't claim to know anything about sea levels in Negril, but you should probably do some research.

Exactly! The global satellite data map in the link I posted independently demonstrates the worldwide sea level rise and lowering. This was the very first factual global satellite information available from space. Tectonic plate activity can easily explain that, as other of nature's powers. To blindly believe sound bites on the news is not research...

Haha, you mean the world wide sea isn't like one big bath tub? I am enjoying the knowledge that is coming through in this thread and it makes me feel a lot better about our beloved Negril.

no one is disputing the fact that sea level is dynamic as well as beaches . As you dated data states Rob , worldwide average sea level is rising +3mm per year . To say that this has not , or will not affect Jamaica (Negril) is just silly. Ask the people in Treasure Beach about rising sea level in the last five years . Ask around Hellshire .

PTJohn,

If you take the time, you can see that the southern and eastern parts of the island are having sea level increases on the map posted. That is scientific data. But that does not prevent Negril from experiencing little to a negative "increase" in sea level. Hellshire and TB are not Negril. Please research this topic a bit more....
