However, as a result of frequent over-topping of the Berbice River due to high tide or heavy rainfall,Per Mertesacker Jersey, these vital means of income and survival are severely crippled.Rainfall also causes the trail to be impassable, thereby making it difficult for residents to access food and other necessities from other parts of the Region, and country by extension.
