Following his claim that the oil and gas industry is not responsible for the low fish catch, environmentalist Simone Mangal-Joly has written to Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha requesting the data that led to the conclusion.
On Friday, online publication Demerara Waves reported Mustapha as saying that a recent Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) study supported the contention that the oil and gas industry is not responsible for the low catch. He said rather it is climate change that is responsible for the decreased fish supply. He also made this statement to Stabroek News.
