A section of the Meadow Bank wharf on the East Bank Demerara (EBD) collapsed yesterday morning and fishermen at the facility listed a number of problems affecting the industry including a “dysfunctional” co-op society there.
The facility has been in a dilapidated state for a number of years and yesterday morning around 7.30 am during the peak period for fish sales, several fishermen were loading bags of fish from boats at the facility when planks underneath the structure gave way. As a result two fishermen sustained minor injuries.
The wharf houses the Georgetown Fishermen Co-op Society,
