Dolphin deaths and oil spills cause protests in Mauritius


The mass death of dolphins, allegedly caused by an oil spill, caused thousands of protests in Mauritius. This was reported on August 29 by Reuters. Thousands of people took to the streets of the capital of Mauritius, the city of Port Louis, demanding that the authorities investigate the causes of the spill of oil products from the Japanese ship MV Wakashio and establish the causes of death of about 40 dolphins found near the site of the oil leak. The organizers of the protest rally and environmentalists explained that they did not trust the information provided by the government in connection with the oil spill and the mass death of marine mammals. In response, the Mauritius authorities assured citizens that all dead dolphins would be autopsied. In addition, a special commission was created to investigate the causes of the oil spill. Currently, experts have conducted an autopsy of two dead dolphins. According to veterinarians, no traces of petroleum products were found on the bodies of animals. Eco-Sud environmentalist group, in turn, insists on the presence of civic activists during the autopsy of dolphins. Earlier, the news agency reported on the arrest of the captain of the Japanese cargo ship MV Wakashio, which ran aground off the coast of Mauritius on July 25. Later, on August 6, oil products leaked from the vessel, and about 40 dead dolphins were found near the coastline. The authorities of Mauritius declared an environmental emergency.

Coronavirus may prevent response to Fukushima accident

The spread of coronavirus 2019- nCoV in China could trigger a shortage of protective suits, which are used in the elimination of the consequences of the 2011 accident at the Japanese nuclear power plant Fukushima-1, reports on February 18 NHK. It is noted that the shortage may arise due to difficulties in the production and transportation of clothing in China. The deficit, according to the sources of the TV channel, may arise at the end of February. Therefore, in March suits from reserves will be used, and by April the customer plans to refocus on products of other manufacturers. We remind that Fukushima-1 NPP is inactive after the destruction of March 11, 2011, caused by a powerful earthquake and tsunami. Now the station continues to dismantle the reactors, and it will take about 40 years to completely eliminate the consequences of the accident. ...
