In a concerning development, oil pollution has stretched across nearly twelve kilometers of Oman's coastline. Fortunately, Masirah Island remains safe from the ongoing spill. The oil, having drifted weeks at sea, began to reach shore on Wednesday. Response teams are actively working to mitigate the effects of the leaking tanker, while the slick progressively moves towards the open waters.
