Sugar barge drifts to beach
And while the trawlers move from dragging along the coastline to non-destructive productivity for the Placencia Coop., the same can’t be said for the sugar barge that is often seen slowly drudging along the Belize City Harbor. The rope from the rusty sugar barge broke from the barge that was tugging it earlier today. And though it moved very slowly, it was beached between the Hour Bar and the Building that houses the Coastal Zone Management and Institute (CZMAI) and the Fisheries Department. After two p.m., the barge was successfully tugged out to sea.
