Aquatic life has been badly affected by the sinking of oil in the sea, which is the result of submerging of a goods carrying ship MV Rak from Jordan. It submerged two days before in Arabian Sea, 20 mile away from Mumbai. 2000 liters oil is leaking every hour from this ship due to which various beaches of Mumbai including Juhu, Versova, Khar, Bandra and Warli are seeing bad effects.
It has been told as a big threat to Mumbai and its environment because this will have an effect on 100 kilometers of area around the place. Today, many people went to Juhu beach in order to have fun as it was Sunday, where they got a layer of oil on their legs.
Tell you that, the ship was loaded with 60000 tonnes of coal, 290 Tonne oil and 50 tonne diesel, which means that 340 tonne petroleum product was there. If we believe the Environmentalists then 1/3 of the total will get evaporated and 1/3 will dissolve in sea water, but the rest of the 1/3 will effect the aquatic life and the beaches. Apart from this 60000 tonnes of coal, will also get parted into small pieces and will be harmful.
