Hello
My name is Aleks.
This weekend we found oil pollution on the beach in El Ahyaa. I think it is traces of the recent oil spill that was mentioned in the news.
The pollution was found in this place

This is a public beach used by tourists and locals.
The rocks on the beach and the seaweed are contaminated with oil. The sea water has an unpleasant taste and smell, which caused several people to have a runny nose and watery eyes. People also had oil stains on their clothes after swimming.
Volunteers collected the contaminated plastic and carried it off the beach. We were also able to collect the contaminated seaweed and put it away from the water. But we can't remove this seaweed from the beach because there is so much of it and we don't have carts or other tools.
I uploaded some iamges of this oil pollution to google

Do you deal with such issues? Can you help to remove this oil pollution from the beach?
