Dookalbo Island Sea dam being created to reduce flooding and bring relief to farmers
Dookalbo Island is one of 365 islands on the Essequibo River and it is a twin island, the smaller of which is uninhabited. The larger Island is home to members of an extended family of eight. As a result of constant flooding on the island, a sea dam is being created, since they have no internal drains and the locals are very pleased about this development by the current administration.
