#tbt to our pilot outing around the Bocas del Dragon. These tiny islands form a now submerged mountain ridge between Trinidad and Venezuela are a popular recreational destination we affectionately call '#downdislands' or '#DDI' 🎥:@exploringtt @nwalker_34

Fun Fact for Today:
Did you know that another name given to the Gulf of Paria by Christopher Columbus was "The Gulf of Whales?" Technically "El Golfo de la Ballena". (Cited from: C.R Markham 1836; Map of the island of Trinidad, Spanish National Archives, Archive of the Indies.)

Those kind of issues illustrate the importance of marine ecosystem management and creation of marine policies😔

We would like to say Happy World Whale Day but today is not a happy day for whales in Trinidad and Tobago's waters. The #tobagooilspill crisis is nowhere near resolution and it's been 2 weeks! Now there are drug trafficking allegations and we still don't know who's responsible!
