Oil Spills in Mumbai
World Report Questions
1. The controversy is that an oil spill in Mumbai, India is very hazardous to the fishermen.
2. The leakage started around the coast of Uran, very close to Mumbai on Sunday night, and ended about 3-4 hours later. The oil spill resulted from a pipeline burst when power failed inside the OCNG’s Uran plant.
3. It’s nothing new to the fisherman because they went through a similar issue. In 2010, the M.S.C. Chitra (sheet-ra) and MV Khalijia (Ka-lee-hia) spilled more than 800 tons of oil into the Arabian Sea. It took more than a year for the fishes to come back. In the meantime, the fishermen had to work labor to provide for their families. This conflict wiped out a lot of the marine animals, and some making them to toxic to eat.
4. Mr. Nakhwa, who represents nine villages in his union, has begun convincing fellow fishermen to demand compensation from the Oil and Natural Gases Company and the state fisheries department. If the oil spill had struck during high tide, the damage wouldn’t be so apparent. On Tuesday, Mr.Nahwka and the fishermen made an appointment to the chairmen of ONGC to file a petition.
5. This is a very big economical issue because the fishermen have no work. Fishermen make $10-$30 dollars a day to pay for their living. It’ll be a while until there will be enough animals that weren’t affected by the oil spills. There is less work for the fishermen themselves, and people who sell the fish. In some parts of the US, we get the food they fish for, therefore it is considered as trade.
6. This affects other places in the world because lobster, prawns and crabs are imported from India and traded to other countries. Another reason it affects other countries is because the oil spread to the Arabian Sea, which not only fishermen from India get their food, but also other countries fish for their food there too. The oils did end up reaching the mangroves which affects coastal vegetation.
