A mystery vessel ran aground off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago, causing a massive oil spill that has affected approximately 15km of coastline, damaged a reef, and threatened the islands' tourism industry during the Carnival season. Prime Minister Keith Rowley declared a national emergency as efforts to contain the spill and identify the vessel, named Gulfstream, continue. Divers have been unable to plug the leak, and the vessel, which made no emergency calls, remains a significant environmental and economic concern for the region.
