Eleven days after tar began to wash up on Israel’s Mediterranean shore, apparently as a result of a marine oil spill, the Environmental Protection Ministry on Monday called on companies specializing in mapping and cleaning up of the marine environment to help local authorities find ways of getting the tar off hard, rocky surfaces, under the supervision of marine ecology inspectors.
The call came as reports came in of more tar washing up onto beaches at Tel Dor, north Netanya, Emek Hefer, Gador, Michmoret, Nachsholim and Beit Yannai in the north and Nitzanim in the south.
