This is not the first time a ship has run aground in Mauritius, the island nation 2,000 kilometres off the south-east coast of Africa. But how and why did it happen again? Could the government have done more to prevent the spillage that is wreaking havoc on the coastal systems? What will the impact be for the biodiversity? What will it take to clean up this mess and avoid situations like these in the future?
In today’s episode of Pasha, Adam Moolna, a lecturer in environment and sustainability at Keele University, answers these and other questions on the Mauritian oil spill disaster.
