Location	Port Antonio, Portland, Jamaica
Introduction	Blue Lagoon in Portland is one of Jamaica’s most tranquil and striking places of natural beauty. The largest of Jamaica’s spring-fed lagoons, the crystal clear waters of the lagoon change color from turquoise to sapphire to azure blue depending on the light and time of day, a result of its great depth of approximately 180ft. A favorite spot for swimming and diving, this enchanted natural area is in need of environmental protection. Renewed efforts are underway to have it included as a ‘National Heritage Site’ as designated by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust and the Blue Lagoon project has become the catalyst for a new initiative to help promote sustainable community development in the parish of Portland. On November 20, 2010, the Blue Lagoon Summit brought together a wide array of community stakeholders and government officials to evaluate sustainable development potential in this coastal marine region of Portland.
