Another oil leakage in Red Sea's Gamsha Bay

There was another leakage of light crude oil in Gamsha Bay on the Red Sea on Monday at both the onshore and offshore sites of the General Petroleum Company. This is the ninth such leakage since September.
The Environment Ministry dispatched a team of researchers to check the sites as the ministry prepares to take legal action against the company. In October, the Environment Ministry fined the company LE2 million following a gas leak in the same area.
In 1997, the United Nations Environment Program warned that the Red Sea marine environment was under threat from several sources, including dredge and fill operations in shallow areas, excavation of artificial lagoons, construction of marine structures, mining and quarrying and tourism development. They also mentioned sediments from coastal alteration activities and the discharge of poorly treated or untreated sewage, fertilizer and pesticide residues as major environmental issues in the area.

Gosto muito deste filme, muito mesmo (ainda que tenha me contorcido de f3dio, cf3licas, dores e derespeso ao ver Ellen Burstyn perder o Oscar, por Requiem para um sonho, para Julia Roberts...pra mim, foi um absurdo total...pior ate9 que ver Paltrow ganhar o premio no lugar de Fernanda Montenegro/Cate Blanchett, risos)...ainda assim, e9 um bom filme e bem dirigido...Roberts atua muito bem, e9 difedcil ne3o pararmos de olhe1-la em cena...boa composie7e3o, sf3 ne3o acho que merecia o Oscar ali. Aaron Eckhart merecia uma indicae7e3o, mais que o chatinho Albert Finney...Gosto deste filme e que bom que colocou ele aqui! Boa lembrane7a de 2000.
