Mangroves have begun to spring up on the Malgre Tout/Versailles, West Demerara foreshore where they were destroyed last year to make way for the TriStar Inc oil and gas shore base facility.
The regrowth now raises the question as to whether the Florida, USA-based company will once again clear the mangroves when development of the land resumes. Mangroves are a protected species and it is illegal to remove them but the government has entertained this.
