Decaying Yemen tanker risks Red Sea oil spill worse than Exxon Valdez
The oil spill would directly affect the coral reefs of the northern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, one of the last reef ecosystems to survive and thrive to this day.
Highly diverse coral reefs of the Red Sea are home to thousands of species, all of which are at immediate risk in case of an oil spill. The wellbeing of these colorful reefs is key to the livelihood of millions of people along the shores of the Red Sea.(photo credit: PROF. MAOZ FINE)ByZACHARY KEYSER, REUTERSUpdated:
