Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter captioned “Torrid times may lie ahead for people living along the coastal areas”, (08.03.28) that was followed by another, captioned “The start of the cycle of erosion”. The first was alarmist and the second misleading. Both indicated misunderstanding of the behavioural pattern of erosion on the Guyana coast. The public deserves to be enlightened but not frightened. I do not believe that impending doom lurks on the coast of Guyana if the problem of coastal management is tackled intelligently and continuously.
