Caribbean Coastal Scenarios (CCS): an integrated analysis of inland-coastal linkages to guide sustainable use and protection of coastal ecosystems (CRN2061)
The Caribbean Coastal Scenarios (CCS) project analyzes how inland activities and climate change affect coastal resources in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Initial findings highlight water quality degradation from sewage and damming, specifically noting nitrate/phosphate contamination in Puerto Rico and flooding caused by deforestation and agriculture in the Dominican Republic's Haina River watershed. The project utilizes hydrological models across 84 watersheds to guide sustainable coastal protection.
