BIG DEGATS ON THE BIG BARRIER

ENVIRONMENT NEWS - The Chinese freighter, stranded on the Great Australian Barrier a dozen days ago, would have caused significant damage, beyond the leakage of two tons of fuel oil. According to officials at the marine reserve, the toxic paint that has come off the hull of the ship is killing many corals. The Australian authorities, assuming that a mistake was made because the ship has taken a road too close to the barrier, intend to file a complaint against the shipowner.
