Talitha G Runs Into Trouble in Barbados

Trouble for the Talitha G yacht in Barbados this week. The luxury yacht dropped anchor off Weston Beach but ran afoul of the Coast Guard when it was believed that the megayacht might have damaged the pink coral reefs in the area. Recently, according to the Nation News, another yacht did damage to the reef and then disappeared. The yacht has often been seen sailing up and down the coast or berthed at Port St Charles. The article mentions that another megayacht, the Virginian, was fined $28,000 in 2001 for damaging a reef in St. James. Since so many people visit Barbados to dive in the reef, marine protection is an important issue from both an environmental and tourism angle.
