Oil spill halts fishing near Port Sudan

An oil leak from Bashir Two Port on the coast of the Red Sea south of Port Sudan has extended up to 9 km from its source, and local fishermen from the city have had to stop fishing.

As reported in Al-Sahafah newspaper on February 4, 2008, the head of the Port Sudan fishermen's association submitted a memo to the Governor of the Red Sea State. The governor had set up a committee to address the situation, but nothing had come of it. The fishermen are out of work because of this crisis.
