Possible oil spill traces nr Coron- UP-MSI
By J.Lo
"As of now, it is undetermined if slicks in the area possibly drifted from location of sunken tanker, MT Princess Empress in Mindoro, or from other sources," University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI) said possible traces of Oriental Mindoro oil spill were detected in waters near Palawan's Coron Island.
Citing latest report of US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), UP-MSI said satellite images taken on Sunday-April 2 showed "possible" oil slicks from submerged MT Princess Empress reaching popular tourist destination.
"During time image was taken, weaker winds were noted, making it highly possible for thicker slicks to form due to less breakage from calmer waves… slicks seen measured at about 19 kilometers in length and about 3 kilometers in width," they stressed.
Members of Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and crew of Japanese ship Shin Nichi Maru over weekend started their "bagging" operations to stop leaks from sunken motor tanker which had affected Oriental Mindoro, Antique, and Palawan.
As of March 30, more than 170,000 residents, including 17,000 fisherfolk, were affected by the leak. Over 61 tourism sites were also affected by oil spill with around 1,000 tourist workers adversely affected.
