While CGX Energy Inc remains mum on the quantum of mangroves it cleared to facilitate the development and construction of Guyana’s first deep water port, the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association (BCCDA) yesterday came out in defence of the company, which it said received all permissions for clearing of land.

“The Company has been an exemplary corporate citizen and partner to Berbicians, who are not

only supportive of this project but view it as critical to Berbice’s development,” the BCCDA said in a statement in which described itself as an integral partner in the development since 2010.
