Somewhere in the world, almost every week, there is an oil spill in the sea. And while it's only the really big spills that get media attention, all the little ones cause big damage too.
The grounded ferry Marco Polo is being salvaged - and is currently being moved out to deeper water, the Coast Guard reports. The salvage entails new risks for further oil spills, and a minor spill has already taken place.
The ship Marco Polo has run aground three times. Now even more oil is spilling into the sea in the Pukavik Bay. - This cleanup will take a long time and you must keep track of environmental toxins in fish and mussels in the area, says environmental scientist Maria Granberg.
