(Worthy News) – The environmental organization Greenpeace on Sunday published images from the European Sentinel satellite showing 12 apparent oil slicks at various distances from Israel’s shores in the days before a storm washed tons of tar onto 160 kilometers (99 miles) of Israel’s coastline.

Oil can also be dumped overboard, for example, if is starting to harden, although this is illegal. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
