Maaaring magkaroon ng kakulangan sa supply ng isda dahil sa patuloy na pagkalat ng langis sa karagatan mula sa lumubog na vessel sa baybayin ng Naujan, Oriental Mindoro noong Pebrero 28.
Ayon kay Dr. Irene Rodriguez, associate professor sa University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI), labis na naapektuhan ng oil spill ang food chain sa karagatan. Kung magpapatuloy ito, nanganganib na masira ang iba’t-ibang uri ng yamang dagat.
“Immediately, this has impact on photosynthetic organisms in the water column. We know that photosynthetic organisms are the base of the food chain, immediately it will affect the source of our fish and other organisms we use for food,” wika ni Rodriguez sa isang radio interview kahapon, March 7.
Dagdag ni Rodriguez, mas malala ang oil spill na ito kumpara sa nangyaring insidente sa Guimaras noong 2006.
“Before the incident, the worst oil spill was in 2006 in Guimaras. The vessel that caused the spill was carrying 500,000 liters of oil. This time around, MT Princess Empress is carrying 800,000 liters of industrial oil. In terms of volume of oil, if this spread to the bodies of water, it is worse compared to the 2006 [oil spill],” ani Rodriguez.
Kung susumahin, mas malaki aniya sa Quezon City ang pinsalang naidulot ng oil spill ayon kay Rodriguez.
Tinatayang nasa 20,000 hektares ng coral reef, 9,900 hectares ng mangroves at 6,000 hectares ng seagrasses ang maaaring maapektuhan ng oil spill.
