Description

The Virginia oil spill (October 2018) was a minor one: 600 m³ of fuel released. Oil was washed up on the coasts of Provence (France). Apart from the core area of the Port-Cros National Park, thanks to the timely intervention of its Scientific Council and its director, the rest of the area was extensively and disproportionately cleaned up, which aggravated the damage caused by oil pollution.
