A new report finds that oil pollution is drifting into marine protected areas, areas meant to be safe havens for ocean life. The finding highlights a gap between protection on paper and actual conditions at sea, as oil slicks and runoff travel far beyond their sources. Conservationists say the report underscores the need for stronger controls on shipping, spills and coastal discharges near protected zones.
Why now: New findings that even protected ocean zones are not shielded from oil pollution have raised concern among conservationists and ocean advocates.
