Fishermen complain that oil deposits are being found around King Fish grounds near Crown Point.
Oil deposits continue to be spotted by fishermen in the waters behind the ANR Robinson International Airport. This is believed to originate from the Gulfstream shipwreck near Cove, where work is ongoing to decant the vessel of the remaining 11,000 barrels of bunker fuel. Fishermen first detected oil in the area on June 5th. They were assured by TEMA and the Office of the Chief Secretary that one oil deposit escaped due to sea and weather conditions and was spread by the current to southwest Tobago. It was said to be an isolated event; however, fishermen today posted a new video showing another oil deposit in the area. President of the All Tobago Fisherfolk Association, Curtis Douglas, is frustrated.
