The Philippines Coast Guard is setting up a massive operation to contain an oil spill after the Terra Nova tanker sank in Manila Bay with 1.4 million liters of industrial oil on board.
Philippines’ authorities on Friday were racing to contain an oil spill from a tanker that sank in Manila Bay on Thursday.
The ship, transporting some 1.4 million liters (370,000 gallons) of industrial oil, faced stormy seas as Typhoon Gaemi passed by the Philippines on the day before.
The tanker’s crew was hoping to steer the vessel to port, but the ship capsized and sank.
Does the cash mean anything if the environment is poisoned?
Maybe the cash could fund clean up efforts, research for restoration?
That would be ideal
