The Atlantic Ocean yesterday began to overtop a vulnerable section of the Content, Mahaicony, sea defence and the Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson has asked for an emergency meeting to be convened today to discuss a solution.
Stabroek News was told that with an above-normal high tide in effect, waves from the Atlantic Ocean spilled over the sea defence which has been rapidly eroding. This newspaper understands that with the overtopping, the structural integrity of the defence is being further threatened and emergency works are required to prevent a catastrophic breakage.
Patterson told this newspaper that he has scheduled a virtual meeting for 10am today with his team of engineers.
