On July 25th, the MV Wakashio oil carrier ran aground offshore of Point d’Esny in Mauritius and has been leaking fuel ever since. As of Monday (August 10), an estimated 1,000 metric tons of oil had spilled from the ship from the ship’s estimated cargo of 4,000 tons of fuel. Mauritians have rushed to make absorbent barriers to contain the spill and protect local flora and fauna, including world-renowned coral reefs.
