Abstract

The oil tankers leaving the Italian port of Scarlino discharge, two hours later, 1500 tons of waste between Cape Corsica and the Italian island of Capraia. At the end of the year more than 350,000 tons of mud will be dumped in this area ... The Corsican fishermen, first victims of this pollution, have closed the port of Bastia for one day to express their discontent and list the permanent damage caused by the sludge: "it will be the end of fishing in Corsica. "
