Divers from a private company, in coordination with the Port and Maritime Police and the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research, are bringing ashore pieces of the ill-fated boat that was swept by the raging waves onto the rocks. The goal is to clear the marine area of debris and to transport evidence to the authorities for a full investigation of the incident.
