Garbage dumping, harvesting and grazing of livestock are three main issues affecting the mangrove forest along the East Coast Demerara foreshore.
These issues were highlighted during a one-day workshop held by the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI)
A release from NAREI yesterday said that the event was attended by a total of 23 community volunteers, Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) officials and mangrove rangers last Saturday at Cove and John.
