Blue seas, Clear sky, No swimmers???

 Blue seas, Clear sky, No swimmers???

Clear blue sea's, Warm summer day.......... sounds nice doesn’t it? Well this was clearly not the case for beach goers on the 19’Th of April in Fujairah.

On Tuesday 19^th, Beach goers were disappointed to find that the beach at Al aqua beach was closed due to tar. The oil tankers normally have to pay to get their tanks cleaned out at port so some of them will illegally dump the remaining oil left in their tanks at sea! Now even though this is a gain for the tanker crew, it is not a gain for tourists, Residents and the staff of the hotels (who have to clean up the oil)!!!!

Another group of people that (aren’t) so happy are the divers (that make up a small bit of the population of Fujairah) as the coral is bleached. This is when pollutants block out sunlight; which is needed for coral to live. This in turn means fish vacate the area because the coral is no longer able to protect the fish (Whoever knew that we all rely on something, Eh???) So all this means that no one is happy except the oil tanker crew (until they are fined!)

There is not really many ways to stop this unless we (try) to educate those who do it. We need to keep on reaching out today, for a better tomorrow!
