Anxious residents of the Indian Ocean island nation of Mauritius stuffed fabric sacks with sugar cane leaves Saturday to create makeshift oil spill barriers as tons of fuel leaking from a grounded ship put endangered wildlife in further peril.
토요일 인도양 섬나라 모리셔스의 불안한 주민들은 좌초된 선박에서 나오는 기름 유출로 희귀 야생동물들이 더 큰 위험에 처하자, 사탕수수 잎으로 마대자루를 채워 임시방편의 장벽을 만들었다.
The government has declared an environmental emergency and France said it was sending help from its nearby Reunion Island. Released satellite images showed a dark slick spreading in the turquoise waters near wetlands.
모리셔스 정부는 환경 비상사태를 선포했고 프랑스는 인근 레위니옹 섬에서 도움을 보낸다고 밝혔다. 공개된 위성사진에는 습지 인근 청록색 바다에 검정 기름이 퍼지는 모습이 포착됐다.
"When biodiversity is in peril, there is urgency to act," French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted Saturday.
에마뉘엘 마크롱 프랑스 대통령은 토요일 트위터를 통해 "생물의 다양성이 위험에 처할 때 우리는 바로 행동해야 한다"고 밝혔다.
Wildlife workers and volunteers ferried dozens of baby tortoises and rare plants from an island near the spill, Ile aux Aigrettes, to the mainland.
환경운동가들과 자원봉사자들은 유출 사고 지점 인근의 에그렛 섬에서 수십 마리의 새끼 거북이와 희귀한 식물들을 본토로 운반했다.
Residents and environmentalists alike wondered why authorities didn't act more quickly after the Japanese-owned ship ran aground July 25 on a reef. Mauritius says the ship, the MV Wakashio, was carrying nearly 4,000 tons of fuel.
주민들과 환경운동가들은 7월 25일 일본 국적의 배가 암초에 부딪혀 좌초된 후, 당국이 왜 더 빨리 조치를 취하지 않는지 의아해했다. 모리셔스 당국에 따르면 MV 와카시오호는 약 4,000톤의 연료를 싣고 있었다.

| An aerial photograph shows oil drifting ashore from the MV Wakashio, a Japanese owned Panama-flagged bulk carrier ship that recently ran aground off the southeast coast of Mauritius, 08 August 2020 (issued 09 August 2020). The ship was sailing from China to Brazil when it hit coral reefs near Pointe d'Esny on 25 July 2020. As of 09 August 2020, oil continues to leak from the grounded ship and the resulting oil slick is drifting to the northwest around the Ile aux Aigrettes island and towards Mahebourg. Several auxiliary ships are positioned next to and near the grounded ship and oil containment booms have been set up in multiple locations nearby to try and contain the oil slick. /EPA |

| A man scoops leaked oil from the vessel MV Wakashio, belonging to a Japanese company but Panamanian-flagged, that ran aground near Blue Bay Marine Park off the coast of south-east Mauritius on August 8, 2020. - France on August 8, 2020 dispatched aircraft and technical advisers from Reunion to Mauritius after the prime minister appealed for urgent assistance to contain a worsening oil spill polluting the island nation's famed reefs, lagoons and oceans. Rough seas have hampered efforts to stop fuel leaking from the bulk carrier MV Wakashio, which ran aground two weeks ago, and is staining pristine waters in an ecologically protected marine area off the south-east coast. /AFP |
