		This area is in relatively close proximity to the highly eutrophic Kingston Harbour that lies to the northeast of the coastline.
		This knowledge along with the observation of deteriorating coral reef and seagrass bed communities led to the postulate that there is gradual decrease in eutrophication from Kingston Harbour moving along the Hellshire coastline westwardly (Webber, 1990).
		This trend is expected as the Kingston Harbour is greatly influenced by enormous amount of freshwater discharged daily via the many rivers, gullies and sewage pipe, which are linked to the harbour.

	Hunt's Bay, Kingston Harbour, Jamaica, Caribbean Sea -
		It is a shallow and poorly flushed bay that is both polluted (both organics and metals) and eutrophic.
		Research suggests that the bay has always been poorly flushed however, the construction of a causeway in the late 1960s severely aggravated the problem and sedimentation from local developments combined with the excessive input of nutrients and organic material has led to oxygen-deficient bottom waters across much of the bay.
		Kingston harbour has a traditional nearshore fishery that is under threat from the sediment pollution from Hunt's Bay.

	Historical Events - Port Royal, Jamaica, 1692 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The initial British settlement of Jamaica during the latter part of the 17th Century was concentrated on a long sandspit extending across the mouth of Kingston harbour, known as the Palisadoes.
		Furthermore, the earthquake and the submarine sediment flows (possibly also including submarine landslides on the steep slopes outside Kingston harbour) generated a series of tsunami waves - at least three waves were recorded - which swept over the sandspit, carrying ships into the town where their remains have subsequently been excavated by archaeologists.
		More recently, however, the location of the town at the entrance to Kingston harbour has led to an agreement (1998) to develop Port Royal as a "historical and cultural port of call for cruise ships", through the construction of a pier and tourist centre.

		From South Bay Point in Prince Edward's District on the west, to Stoney Point in New York State on the east, the navigation of the Lake is interrupted by numerous islands, shoals, and rocks, which renders the approach to Kingston Harbour dangerous to vessels unacquainted with it.
		In making this harbour from any of the western ports of the Lake, steer for the Mid-Channel between the Real and the False Ducks; then alter the course to N. 1/2 E., which will take the vessel through the south channel direct to Kingston Harbour.
