individual volunteers are now taking buckets of oil out and handsewing fiber booms, buying & distributing protective equipment, raising funds. if you have the knowledge, resources or connections, please help organize foreign professional help for pumping & filtration. CRITICAL!

I wonder what happened to the BP oil slick scrubber program? Designs were sought as early as the 70's, for a robotic oil recovery system... then nothing; did BP, SHELL, etc. lose interest?

The poor sea life. Disaster for Mauritius and its' people.

It’s getting worst ... our sea is not turquoise anymore.. our blue bay marina is damaged😢

No problem for Mauritius, as they've got enough money according to Mauritius leaks to easily get along with this crisis. Just ask for help from the shell companies you have established.

Another beautiful part of the world tainted by our pollution.

Aid should be sent immediately, such as booms to contain the oil, and animal rescuers

Credo mutwa prophecy that will be a big problem. Ppl will die animal's.
