A recent jet ski tragedy at Pigeon Point has reignited national debate around marine safety, regulation, and enforcement in Tobago. As calls grow for stricter controls—or even an outright ban—on recreational watercraft, Director of Tobago Marine Safety and Security Services Alvin Douglas joins Virmala to weigh in on the balance between safety and industry sustainability.
The discussion also explores proposals for designated zones such as Buccoo Beach, ongoing enforcement challenges, and the potential impact of new legislation aimed at strengthening local authority and preventing future incidents.
