    The concern was that upstream mining was causing mercury contamination in the heavy fish diet of this Amerindian village. Here, the typical morning catch is being roasted on an open pit. Masakenari, South Rupununi, Guyana (Photo: Khadija Benn)

    If Caught You Will Be Charge At the Port Kaituma waterfront in Region One, Guyana, it appears that no one has yet been caught. Port Kaituma gradually developed from a small Amerindian settlement to a bustling township with the discovery of manganese in Matthew’s Ridge. A canal was cut from the Kaituma River to facilitate a port, and a railway constructed to transport manganese from Matthew’s Ridge to Port Kaituma to Trinidad. Today the waterfront is impeded by squatters, many of whom are vendors. (Photo: Khadija Benn)
