Chinese Ship leaking oil to the Great Barrier Reef. by Milota Sidorova

This is another blow for the only living structure visible from the space – the Great Barrier Reef. According news Chinese ship got struck in shoal giving off its coal goods. About 230-meter long ship, carrying about 65,000 tons of coal, the ship under the label belongs under Shenzen Energy Group, a subsidiary of China Ocean Shipping Company, known as COSCO. And it's been the very same company leaking oil in San Francisco Bay in 2007 and in Norway last year. Each of this “ships”polluted environmentally important areas. We've heard that Great Barrier Reef was dying – the enormous underwater structure made from corals, and thousands of thousands of an! other water flora and fauna species provided more than a lovely sightseeing for tourists – one maybe doesn't know, but oceans produce more than half of planetary oxygen, the gas we need so badly that five minutes without is certainly a deadly portion.Reef provides balanced area for plants and animals that balance the food chain, the most important chain for us people – if one specie disappears, consequences remains of a snow-ball effect. Sooner or later it influences people. We've known this already, more than 90 percent of commercial fish has been catch and the only alternative is to make great sea farms – that means a hammer on traditional fishing, literally millions of millions of people left without their environment, job, culture and tradition way of life. This is a blow, not only for nature, but for a man, himself.General trend in China is to expand at every cost – the economy must grow, for instance, every second day, there's been a new coal f! actory opened in the country. This country is not caring for t! he healt h and work conditions, why should it take care about the environment?There was one way to make business with China – no conditioning, just business.COSCO representatives were not found to make comment to this “accident”.We will skip this blog, turn the page, eat the lunch or go to sleep and forget, but millions of creatures are fighting for their lives.
