TL;DR Summary

A week after an oil spill was first spotted near Tobago's shore, portions of the stain are moving into the Caribbean Sea, raising concerns for neighboring countries. The spill, emerging from a capsized vessel, has not been contained, and satellite images suggest it may impact other beaches with coral reefs and even other countries' coasts. Trinidad's Coast Guard found that at least two vessels allegedly bound for Guyana were involved in the incident, prompting investigations and coordination with other nations. Efforts to clean up Tobago's beaches are underway, with approximately one-third of the affected shoreline already cleaned.
