The European Space Agency (ESA) shared before and after satellite images showing the scale of oil spill that occurred off the shores of Trinidad and Tobago's coastline. The spill from an overturned ship, reportedly carrying 35,000 barrels of oil, has travelled over 160km into Caribbean Sea, ESA said. The spill has blackened the beaches in Tobago, affecting wildlife and tourism.
