It should have been on the front pages, but due to global events, it has been overlooked.
A large oil spill near the #Caribbean island of Tobago, caused by an abandoned vessel on Feb 7, 2024, triggered a massive clean-up effort as the spill affected approximately 15 kilometers of Tobago's coastline, damaging a reef and potentially contaminating the island's fish and food supply.
The ecological impact is still unknown.
