With many fisherfolk across Guyana reporting steady declines in their catches, Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha last Wednesday faced questioning by the Parliamentary Sectoral Committee on Economic Services on what the government is doing to ensure marine fisheries sustainability.
In response to the question posed at a meeting of the committee last Wednesday, Mustapha informed that the government is working on updating and implementation of its Fisheries Management Plans along with research on gear type in an attempt to get rid of those that have adverse effects on the environment.
