This project is a paper and film account of the decline of Jamaica’s fisheries and coral reefs. The nation’s coral reefs have been depleted of fish as a result of the government’s failure to sustainably regulate access to fisheries. In addition, the health of reefs have declined due hotel developments along the island’s coasts. This capstone projects tells the story of development and fisheries overexploitation and how it impacts the Jamaican people and their natural resources.
