Ti: Acute toxicity of three oil dispersants.

So: Environmental Pollution (Sreies A); 41(1):23-32, 1986.

Ab: Static bioassay tests were conducted with three oil dispersants at two salinities (32.0±2 g/litre and 16.0±1 g/litre) using fingerlings of the mullet MUGIL sp. and the hermit crabs CLIBINARIUS AFRICANUS as test animals. The acute toxicity was estimated both by graphical interpolation and the approximate nomographic method of Litchfield & Wilcoxon (1949) and is reported as the 24h, 48h and 96h LC (1) 50 (Lloyd&Tooby, 1979) values. Conco-K was the most toxic, and BP 1,100X the least toxic to the two test organisms at the two test salinities. Simple observations were made on the behavioural responses of the test animals. The role of acute toxicity data in ecological predictions is briefly discussed.

Ti: Hindcasting of hurricane characteristics and observed storm damage on a fringing reef, Jamaica, West Indies.

So: Journal of Marine Research; 44 119-48, 1986.

Ab: Hurricane Allen is one of the most severe hurricanes on record and caused extensive damage throughout the Caribbean in early August 1980. Coral reefs along the north coast of Jamaica were devastated by the hurricane-induced waves. As in the case of most hurricanes, no wave measurements were made. We have computed the wind field and hindcast the deep water wave characteristics as the storm impacted the fringing reef at Discovery Bay on the north central coast of Jamaica. The deep water waves propagated into shallow water on the forereef and transformed as a result of shoaling and refraction. We found that significant wave height at a given time varied by a factor of 2.6 and that incident wave power for the duration of the storm varied by a factor or 7 along a 3 km section of Discovery Bay forereef due to variations in local bathymetry. Maximum hindcast breakers reached a height of 11.5 s. Observations of the most intense reef damage coincided with areas on the eastern forereef experiencing the highest breakers. We speculate that the degree of reef damage is a function of how much time has elapsed since the previous storm rather than the frequency of hurricanes at a locality.

Ti: Saharan dust in the Caribbean.

So: Bulletin of Eastern Caribbean Affairs; 12(3):15-21, 1986.

Ab: The presence of Saharan dust in the Lesser Antilles during the summer constitutes a form of air pollution. The dust originates over Africa and is transported across the Atlantic Ocean by the easterly winds during the summer months. Analysis of the dust has shown that it contains biological material and it is possible that this may have effects upon ecological systems and human health.

So: Environmental Conservation; 13(1):72-3, 1986.

Ab: To overcome the ill-effects of rapid industrial, urban and tourist expansion along the 420 miles (672km) coastline, with its accompanying transmigration of inland populations towards cities, increasing demographic pressures and over a million tourists per year, the island nation of Jamaica has provided a model of zero-loss policy of their coastal wetlands.

Ab: The orientations of dykes from many of the islands of the Lesser Antilles islands arc have been mapped. Most of these dykes can be interpreted in terms of local or regional swarms derived from specific volcanoes of known age, with distinct preferred orientations. Dykes are known from all Cenzoic epochs except the Palaeocene, but are most common in Pliocene, Miocene and Oligocene rocks. A majority of the sampled dykes are basaltic, include volcaniclastic host rocks and show a preference for widths of 1-1.25 m.

Ti: Volcanic soil properties in Dominica, West Indies.

So: Engineering Geology; 23: 1-28, 1986.

Ab: The unusual geotechnical and hydrological characteristics of the tropical clay soils involved in landslides in Dominica resulting from Hurricanes David and Frederic are examined. These highly porus soils exhibit very high field moisture contents (42-180 percent for allophane latosols), void ratios are very high (up to 6 for allophanes) and therefore field dry unit weights are very low (5.47 -10.01 N/M 3 for allophanes). Although predrying does not greatly affect the Atterberg limits of Kandoids, it causes great reductions in the limits of allophane rich soils, the degree of difference depending on the allophone content. Allophone soils also form a distinct group on Cassagrande’s plasticity chart, falling below the A-line as liquid limit increases.

Ti: Deforestation in Jamaica: its rate and implications.

Pub:Kingston; University of the West Indies; Department of Geography, (Mona); 1986. 33.

Ab: Data on deforestation in Jamaica published by the United Nations (FAO/UNEP) and widely quoted in the literature on the tropical environment, has been shown to be unreliable and based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes and extent of the process. A sample survey of humid tropical forests in Jamaica indicates a 3.3 percent per annum rate of deforestation 1980-1986, but that despite significant commercial lumber production, large clear fellings are rare and most modification of the forest is due to expansion of small farming and pastoral activity. The modal cleared is 20 to 25 hectares. As uncontrolled deforestation is adversely affecting watersheds and inducing serious flooding, some form of control and management is urgently needed.

All these forests are natural and little if at all disturbed. It is convenient to present the information under the following headings: climate, geology and soils, floristics, forest structure and function.

Co: ISLSCP Conference; Rome, 2-6, Dec. 1986.

Ab: Evidence is accumulating that surface climatology is changing in many parts of the Caribbean region. The trend is from humid tropical and dry seasonal forest toward increased aridity, with savanization and actual desertification being apparent in some areas. There is an increasingly acrimonious debate as to the degree to which the changes are anthropogenic and due to misuse of the environment. All evidence points to overexploitation of essentially fragile island ecosystems. Field studies and some sampling of time-sequential satellite imagery, including Landsat, suggest that a ajudicious combination of remotely sensed and ground verified data is useful in documenting these disturbing trends in land surface climatology. A more detailed programme of study is envisaged.

During the workshop, draft proposal for a National Disaster Preparedness plan were updated to reflect what had been accepted as a model for the Caribbean states. The Draft National Disaster Preparedness Plan - Guyana 1985, identified fifteen Management Sub-committees and enlisted the services of over thirty specialized agencies/organizations. This plan aims at perfection and within the framework of Guyana’s resources, represents the first logical and co-ordinated approach to disaster planning at the national level.

Ab: Records from 1900 to 1980 of hurricanes and tropical storms occurring over the 5-degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 15N80W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a =0.51 and =0.54 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.
