Mariners are raising environmental concerns after a slick estimated to stretch up to two miles long and half a mile wide was spotted floating in the Gulf of Paria, south of Port-of-Spain, on Sunday.
Witnesses believe the substance was diesel mixed with oil residue, possibly dumped from a vessel.
Tour operator Navin Kalpoo said he encountered the northern edge of the slick while conducting a birdwatching tour in the mangroves off Caroni.
