THE Environmental Management Authority (EMA) says that following a thorough investigation, it determined an advertised boat race on the Caroni River posed “significant environmental risks.”

As a result, the event’s coordinators have cancelled the race, the EMA said in a release issued yesterday.

D Krab House Barge had promoted what was billed as the country’s first-ever flat-bottom and small boat race, along with jet-ski competitions, under the title “Caroni Krab Dash.”
