Dear Editor, For the past 2 days, the entire coast of south Goa from Utorda to Varca has been heavily covered by fuel oil tar balls at the high tide line on the entire stretch of beach. This is a case of major pollution , probably caused by a merchant ship pumping out tanks at night, in vicinity of the coast, or while at anchorage. One wonders what the captain of ports, the Coast Guard, and the tourism department is doing. Sleeping, blissfully, perhaps? O, well, the tourist season is over, anyway. regards, Gilbert Menezes ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
