Abstract
The rapid development of the tourist industry in Jamaica is creating problems for the satisfactory treatment of sewage. Coastal hotels each have their own disposal systems but much waste is discharged to sea after little treatment. Although hotels are now beginning to install their plants which are theoretically capable of producing an acceptable effluent, wide fluctuations of the loading of them and the lack of competent operators do not make for efficiency. The beaches and coral reefs which are among the area's chief tourist attractions are endangered as a result.
