    This stuff is so horrible, I was by one once on the West Coast of USA, it feels like mayonnaise but smells horrible, like gas...... These poor animals and plants! The accident didn't happen because of the Red Sea issues, it was an accident that could have happened anywhere in the world. We need to continue supporting those who are trying to help the Palestine people. Love to all!

    It's always back to the old dilemma of profits VS principles. On one hand, marine fuel oil bunkering, cargo shipping and oil tankers provide a lot of employment in maritime or port activities as owners of large cargo ships and bunkering vessels profit $$$ heavily from high crude oil prices from their trades with countries the goods and fuel oil embark from, reaching Singapore's port, and travel to their destinations. On the other hand, environmental damage is often caused when oil spills into the seas and ships go ablaze due to fuel oil. Water pollution is caused by the oil slicks and oil sheens visibly washed up onshore, such as that witnessed as dirty, black, muddy oil blobs contaminating the sand, coastal / breakwater rocks and beach waters. If fires and flames were set ablaze due to fuel oil leak from oil refineries, oil silos and even bunkering vessels, then that causes air pollution with thick, hot smokes from the flames that need to be doused quickly before it spreads and burns more material. Loss of marine life is evident from the dead fishes found washed up on the shores. Sea turtles, crabs, shellfishes, shrimps, seaweed, ducks, birds, etc. will also suffer injuries and death from an oil spill disaster of this proportion. Not to mention veterinarians who may turn activists as pet owners cannot bring their pet dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. for walks near the sandy beach waters, nor for a light dip in the waters, nor swim at the seashores. The oil spill disaster will pose a hindrance to usual pet activities by the beach that suppose to be beneficial for humans relaxing on weekends after a hard week of work, dipping in the sea water with family members and children as well as for the physiological well-being of the pet animals. More action needs to be taken by environmentalists, marine biologists, animal conservationists and veterinarians besides the clean-up efforts by the contracted workers.
