Pollution of the Lebanese
littoral
Marine
biodiversity is seriously endangered by pollution of the sea.
In Beirut,
people fish on the edge of the Cornish, in very dirty water. The question is
why do fishermen fish in polluted waters?
The answer
to this question is that some poor fisherman’s do not have enough money to pay
for a boat and support their families. They are obliged to fish in the dirty
waters of the sewers.
Fish caught
on the shore are prohibited from being sold by law, so fishermen do not even
have the right to fish on the coast because of pollution, but these fishermen
continue to fish to feed their families.
If you visit
EIN EL MRAYSE, a popular Cornish promenade in Beirut you will smell a really
unpleasing odor, it’s the sewers that exit directly in the Mediterranean Sea.
And what is even worse is that fisherman fish directly in the very polluted and
disgusting water of the sewer.
That’s why
we should be careful about the fish that we eat, and to always make sure to
know from where the fish came from.
