Beaches in Corsica closed due to oil spill in the sea

“We are a little more reassured as a result,” a Coast Guard spokesman told AFP news agency. “But we have to be careful because the current can change the situation.” About 80 specialized members of the rescue services have been called in to assist in the clean-up operation.

Beaches closed

The mayor of Ghisonaccia, where the beaches are closed, hopes the oil can be cleaned up quickly. “There is a lot of anger,” he told AFP news agency. “We really can’t have this at the start of the holiday season.”

French minister Annick Girardin, responsible for maritime affairs, has traveled to the area. “We are determined to find those who caused the oil spill. These are criminals and they should be treated as criminals.”
