Hi Romeike,

I am going to refer you to the National Environment and Planning Agency of Jamaica (NEPA). They would appear to be most knowledgeable on this subject.

Their address and contact details are:

10 & 11 Caledonia Avenue, Kingston 5
Tel: 876-754-7540 Fax: 876-754-7595/6
Hotline: 876-1-888-991-5005
Email: pubed@nepa.gov.jm
Website: http://www.nepa.gov.jm/index.asp

The following agencies might also come in useful:

• The Water Resources Authority
  
• The Environmental Foundation of Jamaica & ...
  
• The Jamaica National Heritage Trust
  

Here too is a small preview into the history of the town of Black River Jamaica. I hope that helps. Stay in touch Romeike.
