Huge Oil Spill off Trinidad and Tobago

A massive oil spill has occurred off the coast of the Caribbean state of Trinidad and Tobago. The oil slick spans a length of 15 kilometers and is believed to have originated from a capsized ship. The crew has not been found.

Following a shipwreck, a massive oil spill has formed off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago. Authorities have confirmed that the oil extends for at least 15 kilometers in front of the island of Tobago.

Among the affected areas are a coral reef and several of the island’s beaches. More than a thousand volunteers, according to the Ministry of Emergency, have been working to clean up the beaches.

The oil is believed to have come from a ship that capsized off the southern coast of Tobago on Wednesday and was carried towards the shore by the waves. The incident remains mysterious: when the ship was spotted on Wednesday, it was flying an unidentified flag and did not emit any distress signals. According to the Ministry of Emergency, the crew has not been found.

Trinidad and Tobago is known for its picturesque beaches, making it a popular destination among foreign tourists. Tourism is one of the country’s main sources of income, with the current carnival season playing a significant role.
