The Code of Practice for Mangrove Harvesting
The Code of Practice for Mangrove Harvesting March 2011 Owen Bovell Mangrove Specialist Guyana Mangrove Restoration Project 1 This publication has been produced with the assistance from the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the Guyana Mangrove Restoration Project (GMRP) and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Union. i Code of Practice for Mangrove Harvesting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A great number of persons and organisations contributed to the development of the Code of Practice for Mangrove Harvesting. I gratefully acknowledge the support of the coastal fishermen, the burnt brick producers of Berbice, the past and present mangrove bark harvesters of Barima, Imbatero, Morrawhanna and Aruka and the honey producers in Region 4. The Code was developed with over two years of inputs from stakeholders, with maximum effort to involve as many interested organisations and individuals as possible. Other codes of forest harvesting and timber harvesting practices from around the world were reviewed during the development of this Code. This includes the FAO Model Code of Forest Harvesting Practice and the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Forest Work; Code of Practice for Sustainable Use of Mangrove Ecosystems for Aquaculture in Southeast Asia and Code of Practice for Forest Harvesting in Asia-Pacific which were widely consulted. Special thanks! Many local documents were reviewed which contributed greatly in guiding the preparation of this Code. These included: National Mangrove Management Plan 2010; Guyana Forestry Commission Draft Code of Practice for Mangrove Management 2004; Code of Practice for Forest Harvesting 2002; The Socio-Economic Context of the Harvesting and Utilisation of Mangrove Vegetation (Allan et al); The National Mangrove Management Secretariat provided much logistical support for its development. -

Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission Health Care for Guyana
Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission Health Care for Guyana 2017 REPORT FEBRUARY TRIP TO GUYANA 2017 was a very busy year for Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission (CanGO). In February, I traveled to Guyana to conclude some unfinished business with the Guyana Revenue Agency and to make dental arrangements for the children who will be having surgery in March 2018. At that time I took the opportunity to visit the Ministry of Public Health, the Diaspora Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister’s office where I discussed the many challenges we were experiencing while trying to organize the annual mission. VISIT WITH THE FIRST LADY The day before I returned to Canada, I was very fortunate to meet with the First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger at State House. The First Lady mentioned her concerns about the Indigenous Peoples including: a) High rate of teen pregnancy b) High rate of HIV c) Teen mothers who do not know how to care for their children d) VIA testing (screening for cervical cancer) I reported CanGO’s accomplishments on previous missions and assured Mrs. Granger that we will continue VIA and STD (sexually transmitted diseases) testing in October 2017. AWARD FROM THE GUYANA CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK Members of CanGO were very honoured to accept the 2017 Guyana Cultural Association (GCA) Award in recognition of our community service in Guyana. Needless to say, we are very appreciative of the acknowledgement of our work with the Indigenous Peoples of Guyana. We’re also grateful to Cyril Bryan (who has been following us for many years) for nominating us for this prestigious award. -
