Guimaras Oil Spill


In August 2006, the Guimaras oil spill occurred. The 998-ton M/T Solar 1, chartered by Petron (the Philippines’ largest oil refiner), was carrying 2.4 million litres of bunker fuel sank 17 kilometres (11 mi) off the island's southern coast, contaminating 24 km2. The Philippine Coast Guard called this the worst oil spill in the country's history. According to officials, 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of mangroves were affected, including parts of the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve.
