What happened to the oil spill in Mauritius?

The cause of this oil spill was that the Japanese cargo ship ran aground and about 1000 tons of fuel leaked from the hull. There is also a saying that the cargo ship ran aground because the people who wore it wanted to dock the cargo ship near the shore for their birthday, so it ran aground, but no matter what the reason, at least the oil leakage of this Japanese cargo ship is an established fact. After the oil spill, because the Mauritian government took a very negative attitude towards this matter, it has not been as active as the Mauritian people to save fuel pollution, so the opposition party in Mauritius began to incite public opinion and protest against the government, and gathered 10 thousand people to take to the streets to March.

According to media reports, on the day of the rally in Mauritius, people held national flags and different protest slogans to protest against the government's improper handling of the Japanese cargo ship oil spill. After the oil spill, foreign rescue operations came faster than the Mauritius government. The United Nations allocated US$ 200,000 to help the Mauritian government deal with fuel pollution. Japan, France, India and other countries also gave a helping hand at the first time, some providing experts and some providing materials. Only the government of Mauritius is nothing. Why don't you think people are angry? Nowadays, the coral reefs in the nearby waters are polluted and the environmental damage is extremely serious.

Environmental experts say that even if the fuel accident can be dealt with quickly, it will take at least several decades to restore the original ecological environment of Mauritius, which means that Mauritius, which relies on tourism for survival, will encounter major economic challenges, and Mauritius, which was originally depressed due to the epidemic, will be even worse after this incident.

According to the investigation, the Japanese cargo ship ran aground on July 25, and then the crew evacuated collectively. On August 6th, at least 65,438+0,000 tons of fuel oil leaked, and the pollution also killed dozens of whales. It seems that Mauritius suffered heavy losses this time.
