2.7M Gallons of Oil Spill off South Korea
Very dense and foul-smelling of natural petroleum washed to the shore from the direction of the sea from South Korea’s biggest oil spill ever, making seagulls black and threatening fish farms along an 11-mile extend of breathtaking and wealthy coastline.
About 2,200 groups of soldiers, police and citizens used a roughly cylindrical open container to remove the dense oil from Mallipo, one of the popular beaches and significant stopover in South Korea for birds that move from one habitat to another, including wading bird of marshes and wet meadows, mallard and great crested grebes.
The volunteer organization keeping watches on the sea near a coast, which was important actions to contain the spill mentioned that, the line along which a large body of water meets the land affected by calamity had more than doubled from four miles.
The oil begun striking beaches one day after a very large oil tanker from Hon Kong was pushed somewhere with great force by a canal boat owned by South Korea that came released the moorings of a vessel from its powerful boat used for towing larger vessels in rough seas.
According to Cho Yoo-soon, who operates a raw fish restaurant at Mallipo beach around 95 miles southwest of Seoul, the situation was overwhelming. She also added that there’s no way to walk around the beach because of oil spill and the whole day cleanup operation had made no progress.
