Dibba Al Fujairah: Mohammed Al Wasila
The competent authorities in the municipality of Dibba Al-Fujairah began, on Saturday morning, operations to deal with oil pollution that hit the city’s beaches and its affiliated areas. The staff working there managed to contain the pollution.
Engineer Hassan al-Yamahi, director of the municipality, explained that an oil pollution hit the beaches of Dibba Al-Fujairah and its affiliated areas, so the municipality formed a team to deal with its effects. After hard work, the team was able to remove all traces of pollution and oil stains on the beaches, which returned to normal following the removal work.
He pointed out that oil pollution occurs as a result of ships in regional waters not complying with applicable international standards, as those ships empty their tanks, and sea currents sweep oily slicks to the shores. He stressed that the pollution that occurred, which resulted in minor damages, was completely remedied. He appealed to the public to report any wrong practices that harm the environment, by communicating directly with the municipality.
