(Small?) Oil spill in Mangaf

Remember when I said yesterday that there is Petroleum smell in the air?
Well, this morning I learned what it was.
I was wondering about a guy walking along the beach yesterday, bending down every few meters and checking things. You rarely see guys collecting shells, right?
He was most likely checking out the first 'pieces' of oil being swept onto the shore.
This morning when we went to the beach, I saw a bulldozer arriving and one car after another going to the beach.
Getting closer I saw workers in coveralls walking along the shore, digging the sand and throwing stuff in the water to soak up the oil - I guess.
Some guys in a Pickup stopped beside me and told me not to let the dogs in the water, because there's oil. But it's not a problem. Mh. Right.
I checked the beach past Mangaf, direction Fahaheel. The oil was slowly arriving there as well.
I can't find any news online and probably won't at all.
Was down there this afternoon again, the workers were sitting on the beach. An oil spill response vehicle was there, two boats out in the ocean, but no action.



In the photo above you see the first (?) casualty. I think it's nicoleb.org/b2/index.php/nature/birdwatching-in-mangaf-kuwait: the same Greater Sand Plover that already had the dark spot on his chest. Now he has dark oily spots around his beak and black oily legs.
Some white-cheeked Terns flew over, looking rather bedraggled than white.
One dead fish was washed ashore as well. No idea, if a casualty too or if he died of old age...

We will see how things will go here. I have confidence that the authorities know what they are doing, since they have enough experience.
We shall see.
