Clearing of Mangrove at Versailles, Region 3

May 15, 2021 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) Chambers of Commerce and Industry (R3CCI) have observed in the news, issues surrounding the proposed development of a Shore Base at Malgre Tout/Versailles, West Bank Demerara.
The Regional Chambers have reviewed the situation and understand that the mangroves are important for our sea defence.
However, the proposed Shore Base will use steel sheet piling construction, which will serve to protect the shorelines and prevent flooding of the community.
We welcome the Shore Base facility in Region Three, as it will require materials, labour and services that exist in the community.
We, therefore, support the establishment of a Shore Base facility, since during construction, development and completion; it will benefit the people of Region Three.
Further, because of the nature of development that is expected to occur in Guyana, applications and expressions of interest for more shore base facilities are inevitable on the western side of the Demerara River and measures will be instituted to replicate the function of the mangroves.
The project should be viewed as a positive for the region given its economic impact and ability to generate jobs.

Halim Khan
President of the
Region Three
Chamber of Commerce
