UAE oil spill shuts Umm Al Quwain beaches

Beachgoers in Umm Al Quwain are being turned away as slicks of oil from a damaged tanker wash onto the UAE's coastline. Those dark patches are drifting over water that supports coral reefs, marine plants and more than 500 kinds of fish. The strikes being traded between militaries in the shipping lanes carry on, and the marine life is the thing left dying in the sludge. NY Post, Bri. #UnitedArabEmirates
