Tremendous fear continues to linger in the minds of the management of the Alfro Alphonso Group of companies, as one of his million dollar complexes, the fish port complex, is severely threatened to be swallowed up into the Pomeroon River.
A massive erosion of the dam is unfolding in that area causing the river to pose a serious threat to the Fish Port complex. According to management, the threat will not only affect the fish port complex, but also other neighbouring buildings, including, the A&S Wholesale depot, The Pomeroon Oil Mill, the Xenon Gas station and the recently constructed Gaulin Supermarket.
Manager of the fish port complex, Ryan Vansluytman, said that the management team of the Alfro Alphonso Group of companies has become increasingly aware of the gradual undermining of the dam that is in close proximity to the Fish port complex—a mere 18 feet.
“Within a year the river would come in further,” Vansluytman opined.
Vansluytman said almost four feet of the dam has already fallen into the Amazon River at the point that serves as a port of entry for fishermen.
Vansluytman believes that the continued erosion is also a component of the daily traversing of boats compounded by the uncontrollable spring tides.
He added that the threat has been recognised by management of the Alfro Alphonso Group of Companies for the past last three years and reports were made to both the Sea Defence and Regional Administration.
“Almost 18 months back we approached the sea defence board; an engineer came and measured the dam and that was it,” Vanslytman, said.
