Portland Bight Protected Area

 

On Earth Day (April 22) 1999 the Portland Bight Protected Area (PBPA) was created by the Jamaican government; the Caribbean Coastal Area Management (C-CAM) Foundation, an NGO whose staff have been collaborating with the NRCA and working in the area since 1993, assisted with technical advice and organizing community support. In preparation for assuming natural resource management responsibility for thePBPA.

C-CAM staff prepared a Management Plan intended to be implemented between 1999-2004; however it was only on 18 July 2003 that C-CAM was appointed an agent of the NRCA and a 5-year agreement was signed whereby many of NRCA’s natural resources management (NRM) functions within the PBPA were delegated to C-CAM.
