PRESIDENT of Guyana and Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces, Donald Ramotar while travelling to Wakapoa along the Lower Pomeroon River on Saturday stopped and had a short discussion with several coastguard ranks who were manning the floating Coastguard Base near the mouth of the Pomeroon River.
 The floating Coastguard Base was set up by Government through the Guyana Defence Force to monitor vessels and speedboats entering and leaving the Pomeroon River. It also serves to monitor the seacoast off Moruca, Shell Beach, Waini and Pomeroon River mouth so fishermen can be protected from pirates.
