Scientists Warn Massive Red Sea Oil Spill Is Imminent, and It Will Be Catastrophic

Corals in the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea (Credit: Maoz Fine) (CN) Oil from a decaying tanker in the Red Sea must be removed immediately to prevent an environmental disaster four times the size of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, a team of international scientists warned Tuesday. In a policy brief published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, researchers explained the tanker Safer is an abandoned storage and offloading vessel containing 1.15 million barrels of crude oil that is already seeping into the seawater inlet between Africa and Asia. Access to the ship is controlled by Yemen’s Houthis, who are embroiled in that country’s civil war, which has killed more than 100,000 people and has triggered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations.
