"Oil Spill Crisis Threatens Trinidad and Tobago's Environment and Tourism"

Trinidad and Tobago is considering declaring a national emergency after a ship ran aground and overturned, causing a significant oil spill that has affected at least 15km of Tobago's coast. The spill has prompted a massive cleanup effort involving 1,000 volunteers and government staff, with divers working to isolate the leak from the abandoned vessel. The government may designate the accident a Level 3 disaster, and the spill occurred just before the country's carnival celebrations, which are crucial for its economy.
