Fresh submarine groundwater discharge (FSGD) at the shoreline has been implicated as an important factor in the maintenance of coastal water quality and the sustenance of ecological goods and services. FSGD can be disproportionately large on oceanic, small island developing state (SIDS), like Jamaica, but developing countries may not be able to fund ideally developed FSGD sampling regimes.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
