Ok Rob-please help me out here..I goggled and searched and could not find anything regarding reports of water quality in Negril-anything recent at least .Found one great scientific article -but from 1996 and wasnt too positive about the health of the water. I know theres a new sewage treatment thats been put in since-but cannot find these many reports from organizations that were hinted to,..Could you please direct me to the places of more recent reports you may know of...As someone who cares about the environment, Jamaica and Negril I'd like to know what is the current health of the water that surrounds Negril (beaches, cliffs,etc).Using search engines isnt really getting me any recent info..
This is the 1996 report that i found: globalcoral.org/water_quality_in_the_negril_area.htm.
BTW-it is very true a waters color may have nothing to do with water quality. here in so cali. the oceans/beaches may look as they always do(no change of water color,etc), but are tested on a regular basis and esp. after rains often have levels of pollution (esp sewage run-off) too high to allow swimming -(ie signs on the beach with warnings)-so brackish looking water does not mean its unhealthy-hopefully just mother nature doing her thing..
