MEXICO CITY Feb 18, 2005 ? In a significant embarrassment for American scientists, a U.S. research vessel conducting controversial sound-wave research
off Mexico's Gulf coast faces heavy fines for running aground on a coral reef.
Mexican authorities announced on Thursday that the U.S. National Science Foundation ship Maurice Ewing hit a reef about 30 miles off the Yucatan
peninsula on Monday, even though the reef was clearly marked on maps.
