Two excerpts:
"This week, one of the approximately 10,000 such vessels that traverse the famous continent-splitting waterway each year ran aground in bad weather and broke in half, spilling 96 tons of fuel oil and 25 tons of diesel oil into the area's bays and out to sea."
" 'Even a simple fisherman knows the weather conditions around here,' Sinan Kayaci, a restaurant owner and fisherman, told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review. 'How is it that a ship crew does not know and does not take the appropriate precautions?' "
When will the laws change? When will we stop this destruction?
