Description:Few people are aware that Britain faced an environmental disaster in 1967. It was the world's first major oil spill and it landed on Britain's south west coast. It was a disaster that the world knew could happen one day but no one could predict where or when. The coastline of Cornwall, Devon, the Isles of Scilly is some of Britain's most outstanding coastal scenery. The south west tip of the British Isles is notorious for shipping being lost on the submerged rocks. Amazingly, an oil tanker took a 'short cut' and was ripped open on the rocks spilling its deadly cargo into the sea. Even to this day scientists are not sure if the coast line has actually fully recovered. It's an area I know well personally and looking at the beaches today it's hard to imagine swimming in a brown sludge. The book covers the controversial clean up operation and questions the methods and the chemicals used to clean up the oil.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
