Illegal night parties at sea will be shut down immediately, following the sinking of a vessel at No Man’s Land in Tobago on Saturday.
Tobago Emergency Management Authority Director Allan Stewart made the announcement and confirmed that the boat was unapproved and likely overloaded, though all passengers were safely evacuated.
According to a Guardian Media report, Mr Stewart emphasized that no permits have been granted for such parties and also confirmed that surveillance will be increased in the coming months to ensure compliance.
In response, the Tobago House of Assembly has formed a committee to implement new safety protocols for reef tours.
