黑海原油泄漏，上万水鸟死亡

黑海原油泄漏，上万水鸟死亡水鸟死亡

On Saturday night November 10th, a heavy storm brought severe damage to vessels stuck in the Kerch Strait between the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. One vessel broke in two, leaking at least 2,000 tonnes of oil in the Black Sea. At least three more vessels that sank carried potentially hazardous sulphur. Twelve ships in total were reported to have been affected by the storms, killing at least six sailors. Due to the weather circumstances which are still difficult at the moment, information about the current situation in the area is sparse. BirdLife’s network representatives are therefore relying on local sources to receive updates. Weather services have announced more storms for tonight which make it impossible to undertake large-scale rescue operations at sea or to start cleaning oil-covered birds.

11月7日，一艘油轮撞到加州湾大桥，导致约58，000加仑的燃料油泄漏，包括救助鸟类在内的清污工作正在展开。一旦污染扩大到整个生态系统，会对鸟类生存造成巨大影响。目前奥杜邦协会的工作人员和志愿者把工作重点从监测当地水域和海滩原油污染状况转移到救助受害海鸟身上。
