Coral Reef Damage. In mid-August 1996, Jamaica's Natural
Resources Conservation Authority confirmed reports that a fiber optic cable
had fallen across the popular Widow Makers Cave coral reef dive site and
damaged coral. Telecommunications of Jamaica, Ltd., agreed to move a
section of their Cayman-Jamaica cable to a sand channel and avoid further
contact with live coral formations. [Assoc Press]
