Crocodiles in their habitats

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:48:46 -0500

MEDIA RELEASE - June 23, 2009

The National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) has received reports about the presence of crocodiles in a section of the Rio Cobre River that runs adjacent to the communities of Shelter Rock and Thompson Pen in Spanish Town, St. Catherine. The Agency visited the area on 30 December, 2008 to investigate a report of crocodile sightings in the river. During that visit residents were encouraged to avoid the crocodiles and information was provided about this important protected animal. In addition, a NEPA technical team along with the Island Special Constabulary Force and members of the community staked out the banks of the river, but no crocodiles were sighted at the time. NEPA is encouraging residents to avoid all contact with the animals and make every effort to stay away from the river.
