The oil-rich Atlantic, Guyanese mindsets

-Pandemic humour …

I believe that it’s the United Nations Organisation – the UN – which determines how far out or how much of a sea or ocean belongs to some country that is contiguous to that mighty body of water. (Hope I’m accurate about that International “Law of the Sea.”)

So I remain intrigued that all those miles away from our Seawalls and Coast, way out in that Atlantic, that off-shore water is Guyana. Yes think about it citizens: the Co-operative Republic of Guyana is also on and in and under the Atlantic waters. And the centuries-old hydrogen and carbon – hydrocarbons – compounds that become oil in that body of water belong to us – mainly poor Guyanese.
