Coral reef at Boca disappeared

Local | By Correspondent October 2, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - The coral reef atf Boca Samí has been completely destroyed over a length of 60 meters. The damage was caused by the bunker ship that has been off the coast for some time.

The thrusters of the bunker ship were turned on during the storm last Wednesday because the platform threatened to crash against the rocks. All the coral has been blown away, there are now holes as big as houses.
