Jamaica and the Sea

Synopsis: Filmed in Jamaica just after Hurricane Gilbert, shows the work of marine scientists studying the effects of natural disasters such as hurricanes and human pollution (Kingston Harbour) on various ecosystems. Coral reefs, mangrove swamps and sea grass act together to protect tropical coastlines from effects of winds and waves and help bind together the fine sediments flowing in rivers towards the open sea. Effects of sewage pollution and over-fishing have serious consequences on tourism and the fishing industry.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
