http://www.modbee.com/news/business/article173246086.html The mysterious sinking of a small oil tanker carrying 2,200 tons of fuel oil and 370 tons of marine gas oil occurred off the Athens' coastline a few days ago. The oil has spread quickly, secreting a foul smell and leaving the residue of oil along the beaches. Many helpers have been called upon to clean up the viscous spill. Although it is devastating for tourism and fishermen, it is not quite considered an environmental disaster. Rather, it is labeled as an "environmental accident." It is predicted that the waters and coastline will be restored to their former glory in 25-30 days.
Luckily this spill is unlikely to cause any major damage to the the islands and reef. The beautiful beaches and cliffs will not be damaged to any extent. This is good because someday I'd like to visit Greece in its full glory and prestige. With new technology and volunteer assistance from those who inhabit the area, I'm sure a solution will be found in a quick and productive manner.
