«Ships are leaving the shore and I wave them goodbye,» says the folk song, and it seems that this is particularly true of our seas lately.
First of all, the report brought to light by the “Journalists” Newspaper" and republished by Kythera.News, according to which the Gulf of Laconia has been transformed into a «transit center» for tankers, which do not pay mooring fees and transship Russian oil, disguised and mixed with residues of unknown origin, which is then sold on the market as... something else.
Then we had the incident off the coast of Trachila, where A sailboat was spotted on Monday morning, September 12, sailing unmanned., before the Coast Guard intervened and “rounded them up.”.
And as if the tankers and unmanned sailboats weren't enough, at noon on Wednesday, September 14, we saw an oil rig making its way through the strait of Elafonisos, heading for Turkey.
This is how things are at the moment in our region, but it is commonly believed that in order to continue to have beautiful “ecological memories” from the area in the future, we are looking to the authorities of this country to be vigilant in order to prevent any kind of accident that could irreparably damage our seas.
