EPA says probing Kingston seashore pollution

A drone shot of an area of the Kingston seashore on Friday where the substance was observed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says  it has investigated the reports of what was claimed to be crude oil at the Kingston seashore in Georgetown and has collected samples for analysis.

In a brief statement on Friday, the EPA said that it is in receipt of the video shared on Facebook regarding a spill in the Demerara River, in the vicinity of the Marriott Hotel, and that the agency conducted an investigation on Thursday.
