Repost from my hardworking conservation allies at @oneprotest // Please follow @oneprotest to help save our wildlife! Hurricane Dorian blew the tops off five of Grand Bahama's oil storage tanks holding an estimated 1.8 million barrels of oil. This oil spill is catastrophic, and NO ONE is talking about it. The Bahamian Government seems to have turned a blind eye to this situation probably due to the immense job with hurricane relief efforts. The oil company, Equinor, claims no oil has entered the ocean or waterways, but footage taken by conservationist Jim Abernethy (@jim_abernethy) proves otherwise. Please sign and share our petition! You can go to @oneprotest Facebook page, or go to Change.org and search "Demand Action Be Taken To Clean Up Oil Spill In Bahamas". .

"Massive poisonous shock’: Scientists fear lasting impact from Mauritius oil spill. Some corals have lived for centuries at the fringes of Mauritius. Now smothered for days in heavy fuel oil spilled from a wrecked Japanese tanker nearby, parts of those reefs may be in trouble. The damage, scientists say, could impact Mauritius and its tourism-dependent economy for decades. “This oil spill occurred in one of, if not the most, sensitive areas in Mauritius,” oceanographer and environmental engineer Vassen Kauppaymuthoo told Reuters by telephone from the island, where he was surveying the disaster. “We are talking of decades to recover from this damage, and some of it may never recover.” The wildlife at risk include the seagrasses blanketing sand in the shallow waters, clownfish darting around coral reefs, mangrove trees corralling the coastline with their tangled root systems, and the critically endangered Pink Pigeon, endemic to the island. #oilspill #mauritius #wildlife #oilspillcleanup #mauritiusoilspill #mauritius🇲🇺 #oilcleanup #disaster #spill https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5LWvYjbjE/?igshid=jxyjqogj22dz
