Bad news for people who love bad news
On August 11, a Petron tanker carrying two million liters of oil sank off Guimaras Strait. Guimaras is an island located in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines between Panay and Negros. Its shorelines are teeming with diverse marine life and mangroves and coral reefs.
DENR is asking Petron to buy a bioreactor that produces microbes to hasten the breakdown of the sludge that has spread over 200 kilometers of shoreline. Read more here. Click here to sign a petition.
This breaks my heart. As late as August 25, the tanker was still in the waters and the remaining oil in the tanker hadn't been siphoned off. There are so many disheartening things in this article.
Guimaras is beautiful. Isla Pulang Pasayan is famous for its exotic marine life - live shrimp that look like they've been cooked because of their reddish color. There are tons of islets and caves and coves. Some of the beaches aren't affected yet and I just hope people do what they're supposed to.
