Dear Scientific Community I'm sending this e-mail because my sister brought to my attention an issue that maybe you could be interested to help with. Seems like the spectacular bio-luminescent lagoon located close to Falmouth, Jamaica, and connected to Oyster Bay - where the lagoon exchanges water and also dinoflagellates (the ones who produced the luminescent effect) - has been impacted for the construction of the cruise ship facility where they discharge their waste into the Ocean.
We are trying to help this Jamaican community because they are worry about the decrease in the luminosity of the lagoon and also about the health of the lagoon populations. Therefore, We are trying to find out if somebody has information about studies about in this particular lagoon after 2009 and if there is an organization willing to do assessments and help this town to stand up in front of this big corporation of Cruise lines which just care about their profits and not about the their impacts of the Caribbean ecosystems and the people who inhabit them. We will be very grateful for any information you can provide us. Thank you very much Natalia Quinteros -- “It is only the girdling encircling air, that flows above and around all, that makes the whole world kin.” Matthew Fontaine Maury (19th century)
