troporobo 252 Posted January 10, 2012 Yes, its the Rena which went aground on the Astrolabe reef back in October. There was an initial oil spill that caused a fair amount of offshore damage. Now the latest reports are that its breaking up and about to sink, along with hundreds of containers, and no real idea of what the further damage could be.

deepsea 0 Posted January 10, 2012 This is also a ecological disaster in Christmas Island, Aus, where the baby red crabs are returning from sea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
