Crying Dalian - Save Our Beautiful Sea Covered by Oil Spill
While the eyes of the world were fixed on the unfolding disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, China was battling an oil spill of its own.
The oil spill resulting from a pipeline explosion in the port city of Dalian on July 16th is being cleaned up by a small army of fisherman, locals, and government workers manning over 250 oil-skimming vessels and 8,000 fishing boats – much of the work being done by hand. The spill, now contained according to authorities, grew to 430 square kilometers, but was prevented from fouling international waters.
