Doha: An investigation into the discovery of red spot on the Qatari sea border has confirmed that there is no industrial pollution.
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change conducted an investigation along with the relevant agencies following the discovery of red spots on the sea surface.
From the examination of the samples, the officials revealed that the red spots are an ecological phenomenon caused by the blooms of certain types of plankton and algae floating in the ocean, and this is the reason for the obvious color change in the water.
This phenomenon is known as red tide. Officials also stated that there is no industrial pollution in the Qatari sea. The samples were collected using sophisticated systems and equipment. The testing was done by the Water Environmental Quality Team at the laboratories of the Environmental Monitoring and Testing Department.
