The Guyana Marine Conservation Society (GMCS) has launched its five-year strategic plan (2022-2027), which it says aligns with the government’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030. 

According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) release, at the launch on Wednesday at Duke Lodge, Georgetown, the GMCS’s founder, Annette Arjoon–Martins, said that over the next five years the organisation will focus on four main areas:  research and monitoring; education and awareness; community development; and strengthening GMCS’s organizational capacity.

She also related how the GMCS strategic plan is linked to the Ocean Economy component of the LCDS 2030.
