SAINT LUCIA'S WWII SHIPWRECKS A TICKING ENVIRONMENTAL TIME BOMB THREATENS CARIBBEAN

Historian Nicholas Devaux delivered this urgent warning Thursday evening at the UWI Global Campus Saint Lucia during the 12th annual Patricia Charles Memorial Lecture, revealing that tankers containing millions of gallons of fuel are corroding in regional waters with no assessment or mitigation plan in place.
