Some 1,000 tons of fuel have seeped into the ocean. Now rescue teams are trying to siphon the remaining cargo before it is too late.
A large slick of oil seeped from the MV Wakashio on Thursday after it ran aground off the coast of southeast Mauritius in July.Rescue teams are racing to pump an estimated 3,000 metric tons of oil from a Japanese-operated bulk carrier stranded on a coral reef off Mauritius before the ship breaks up entirely.
The 984-foot-long MV Wakashio is slowly coming apart after running aground on July 25. Already, more than 1,000 metric tons of bunker fuel have spilled out, polluting coral reefs, lagoons and pristine shoreline along the Indian Ocean island’s southeast coast.

Do we car and truck users have oil on our hands? Yes. We need to move towards way more efficient transit choices.
LULALAR Merecemos desaparecer como especie si no cambiamos el paradigma. 😕
This is just so sad. You’d think by now we’d come up with an effective way to deal with these scenarios - it’s not like they’re new! Been happening for years We can land on the Moon & conduct successful missions to Mars, but we just can’t fix our oceans/ environment. WTF?!
I don't know much about what to do in this scenario but I want to wish best of luck to all those who are working hard to save our environment. Thanks.
I think that the oil situation is very compromised, but nobody talks about that and even less now.
Omg
Terrible.
starting to think we should do something about this oil situation
😔
? Is the captain of this cargo ship the first time to cross this route? Or the under sea contour changed dramatically recently?
I hate oil disasters 😢

Devastating for Mauritius sensible marine ecosystem. What a tragedy.
This is a tragedy.
Poor beautiful Mauritius. As a species, we really are becoming our own worst enemy. ☹️
There is a reason why I try to 'ethically' invest, respectfully.
Preventable diseases still kill people and preventable disasters still harm our planet.
Why wasn’t the oil removed when the ship ran aground several weeks ago? Procrastination?
Ma che disastri siamo capaci di combinare!!
So sad
Look at how blue the ocean looks; hope they are able to clean up as much of the oil as possible.
