A consultation on the Guyana’s Maritime Economy Plan was yesterday held with the aim of addressing issues affecting the sector as well as formulating plans to ensure the environment is protected and effectively managed.
The event was held at the Bel-Air Gardens residence of British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn.
Quinn, who spoke at the event, said that Guyana was the first country to sign up to create a maritime economy plan.
“That, I believe, is a reflection of the vision of the government and all of the agencies,” he said, while noting that the country’s future rests on effective conservation in all economic sectors.
