Final Hazards Report :(
For my final hazard report on Jamaica , I will be discussing their main coastal hazard which is beach erosion . Although, beach erosion is not as life threatening as a volcano would be, fortunately for Jamaica they do not suffer from volcano eruptions. I ssues such as beach erosion do not cause sudden deaths but they can play a major role in overall quality of life locals have. I have decided to focus on this issue as my main priority because it has become so severe that Jamaica's beaches have been predicted to disappear by year 2025 give or take 5 years. This is extremely devastating news to the country of Jamaica considering their beaches are what makes up a large portion of their economic stability; "l ocals fear they will have to find a new nickname for the seven mile stretch of land [because it is eroding away], one of the top destinations which brings in millions of dollars from tourists in a country where a quarter of all jobs depend on tourism" (Daily Mail).
