Guyana’s mangrove forests which are an important part of coastal sea defence will soon benefit from a multi-institutional agreement that will allow for enhanced monitoring and evaluation as well as much-needed protection.
In a statement yesterday, the University of Guyana informed that it had on Tuesday, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SERVIR-Amazonia, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to create an inter-institutional collaboration that will strengthen the development of information services for mangrove mapping and monitoring. The MoU will remain in effect until December 20 of 2023.
