POLICY FORUM GUYANA JOINS THE CALL FOR URGENT ACTION TO HALT DEEP-SEA MINING AND PROTECT OUR OCEANS

Policy Forum Guyana, along with regional and international bodies, leads an effort to endorse a moratorium on deep-sea mining, aiming to protect oceans and marine ecosystems from irreversible damage.
