LEBANON - BEIRUT RIVER - 23 FEBRUARY 2012

BLOOD RED BEIRUT RIVER


The Beirut River turned blood red on 15 February 2012 after an unidentified red liquid began pouring into it emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The source of the liquid is not known. Officials are still investigating. Eyewitnesses working in the area say this is not the first time the river had turns a different colour roughly every two months but no one pays attention to it. It seems this time the spillage has been high. Officials took a sample of the water to determine its composition and whether it contained dangerous pollutants.

Bassam Sabbagh Ministry Official “The sample we took will be examined tomorrow [Thursday] morning ... and we will know whether it is blood being mixed with water or if it is some sort of a colour dumped in it. First we thought it was blood, but it seems like it is a kind of colouring dumped by a factory. The test to determine the type of chemical would take a week. We need the help of the local officials to have a clear idea of the sewage network in the region. Maps of the sewage network would help officials locate the source of the red-coloured water. After finding the source, it would be a matter of hours to get to the factory and the area where the coloured water is originating. Swift action would be taken against those responsible for it.”“The sample we took will be examined ... and we will know whether it is blood being mixed with water or if it is some sort of a colour dumped in it.

Saad Elias Adviser to the Environment Minister “After going through several phases of butchering at the slaughterhouses, they store huge amounts of blood and animal parts in containers ... they might have dumped them into a sewage canal.

Adviser to the Environment Minister

“After going through several phases of butchering at the slaughterhouses, they store huge amounts of blood and animal parts in containers ... they might have dumped them into a sewage canal. The ministry will definitely investigate this matter because our role is to prevent pollution.”

 

Local officials in the area suggested that a paint factory could be responsible for the incident. There are several paint factories in Hadath.

 

A similar incident took place in the Chinese Jian River last December after a factory illegally dumped red dye into the river. Some cities use non-toxic dyes to colour rivers on special occasions. In Chicago, the river is dyed green every year in the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

Dr Martin D. Robards Wildlife Conservation Society Lead Author Of The New Study "International bodies such as the International Whaling Commission were formed specifically to gauge the status of whale populations and regulate the hunting of these giants. These species, however, represent only a fraction of the world's diversity of marine mammals, many of which are being accidentally netted, trapped, and -- in some instances -- directly hunted without any means of tracking as to whether these harvests are sustainable." Carlos Duarte Oceans Institute University of Western Australia Instituto Mediterráneo de Estudios Avanzados Spain “Increased speculation and discrepancies about current and future jellyfish blooms by the media and in climate and science reports formed the motivation for the study. There are major consequences for getting the answer correct for tourism, fisheries and management decisions as they relate to climate change and changing ocean environments. The important aspect about our synthesis is that we will be able to support the current paradigm with hard scientific data rather than speculation." Dr Tim Daw Lead author UEA's School of International Development Stockholm Resilience Centre "We found that half of fishermen questioned would not be tempted to seek out a new livelihood -- even if their catch declined by 50 per cent. But the reasons they cling on to their jobs are influenced by much more than simple profitability. Reduced profitability was certainly not the only deciding factor. Fishers often have an occupational attachment, job satisfaction, family tradition, culture, and a sense of identity, which makes them reluctant to stop fishing Dr Joshua Cinner Co-author ARC Centre of Excellence for coral reef Studies in Australia "Surprisingly, fishermen in the more vibrant and developed economies were less likely to give up their trade despite having more economically fruitful opportunities open to them. This is the reverse of the common belief that poor communities are less likely to adapt than wealthy ones. We suspect that this may be in part due to the perverse impacts of subsidies in more developed countries encouraging people to stay in the fishery which would otherwise not be profitable." Dr Cathy Lucas Marine Biologist University of Southampton National Oceanography Centre "Clearly, there are areas where jellyfish have increased, the situation with the Giant Jellyfish in Japan is a classic example, but there are also areas where jellyfish have decreased, or fluctuate over the decadal periods. Understanding the long-term rather than short-term data is the key to solving the question about jellyfish blooms.”

Norberto Oldani Biologist Universidad del Litoral "More shad is being exported than the ecosystem can replenish. This year, for the first time, the species has practically not reproduced. This has never happened before. For breeding to occur, there must be reproductively fit adults. Some time ago the specimens caught would be seven or eight years old, but now fishers are harvesting two-year-olds that are just starting to lay their eggs. Year after year, resources are being depleted, species are disappearing, and catch specimens are smaller in size and lower in weight; in other words there is a loss of biomass...Lower water levels and increasing pressure from overfishing in the Paraná River are causing an unprecedented decline in fish stocks in the river that is regarded as the second most biodiverse in South America after the Amazon River...
