Portland Bight Protected Area

Nearby cays such as Little Goat Island are included. It is the largest protected area in Jamaica and comprises . Although the first priority in forming the protected area was to protect the coral reefs, it also serves to protect vulnerable and endemic species. The PBPA includes of wetlands on the island, and coastlines of mangroves, as well as sea-grass beds that serve as a nursery for fish and shellfish breeding. The Caribbean Coastal Area Management Foundation (C-CAM) has been charged with managing zones within the protected area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.seacology.org/projects/individualprojects/JAMAICA_PBPA.htm )
On land there are of dry limestone forests, 60 known caves, and it includes a population of 50,000. Part of the task in forming the PBPA going forward is to find a balance between protecting the ecosystem from destruction by economic development and allowing the human inhabitants a means to live and work.
As of August 29, 2013, the Government of Jamaica is proposing to develop the Goat Islands, in the PBPA, as a transhipment hub in conjunction with the Chinese government. Environmentalists argue that this will have a severe impact on the entire protected area.
