Oil spill: more than 200 Brazilian beaches after …

A huge oil spot, of unknown origin, which was detected a month and a half ago, is advancing along the coast of Brazil and has already traced more than 7,000 kilometers of northern Brazil in black. About 2,000 kilometers of beaches in Bahia are already exploited. The population of coastal towns and villages is trying to prevent the task from progressing.

About 30 tons of oil have already been collected on the shores of Pernambuco and Bahia and more than 500 tons have already been removed from the water and sand. Beaches frequented by tourists from around the world, such as Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Porto de Galinhas and Suape Beach, are already facing the dark threat. The fear of the population is the fierce impact that the spill can have on marine species and its effects on the tourist season.

Experts estimate that 201 Brazilian beaches, according to the agency EFE, are threatened or have received part of the place whose origin is still unknown, and that a total of 525 tons has already been collected. President Jair Bolsonaro has speculated about the origin, but the truth is that environmentalists have still failed to determine whether it was the loss of a ship or a ship. from an oil pipeline. For these statements, in which Bolsonaro pointed against Venezuela, the Brazilian president was sharply criticized.
