The Black River Lower Morass is the largest freshwater wetland ecosystem in Jamaica. It is a complex of shallow brackish lagoons, limestone islands, tidal marshes, mudflats and mangroves near the coast with extensive freshwater marshes and peat formations. Royal Palm Reserve The Royal Palm Reserve is one of Jamaica's leading Eco-tourism attractions. The Reserve is a forest within the Negril Great Morass boasting 114 plant species including the Royal Palm found only in this area and over 300 animal species including birds, butterflies and reptiles. Rockland Bird Sanctuary Jamaica is home to more than 200 bird species, some seen only seasonally or in particular parts of the island. A great place to spot birds is the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary & Feeding Station south of Montego Bay. The station was the home of the late Lisa Salmon, one of Jamaica's first amateur ornithologists. Dunn’s River Falls Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. It is located close to the sea and is one of the island’s most famous sites. Here you can climb the falls in a human chain led by Falls Guides or lose yourself in lush tropical foliage - ferns, bamboos, ginger lilies, crotons, orchids, a variety of palms and breadfruit trees. .
