- Muito bom dia amigas e amigos deste oceânico blog.
- O nosso tema de hoje, nesta série de posts, dedicados à INEQUAÇÃO do VERDADEIRO APOCALIPSE, é a Poluição da* Água da* MAR.
- Poluição esta das mais graves e deletérias porque a água é nossa origem, fonte de todo tipo de alimento e
garantia de vida.
- Portanto a trágica matéria abaixo sobre esse misterioso e ao mesmo tempo monstruoso desastre ecológico que se abateu sobre as praias do nordeste do Brasil só pode ser do nosso maior interesse, concordam?

Brazilians rally to clean beaches amid outrage at Bolsonaro's oil spill inaction

President suggests ‘criminal act’ aims to scupper rights tender

On Monday evening, Sport Club Bahia – one of the biggest football teams in Brazil’s north-east – faced its rivals Ceará with black oil stains on their red, white and blue shirts. It was the latest sign of the growing outrage over a mystery oil spill that since early September has blighted a 2,200km stretch of some of the country’s most beautiful beaches – and the failure of President Jair Bolsonaro’s far-right government to handle the crisis.
Nobody knows where the oil is from or why it keeps washing up on Brazilian beaches. Yet while social media has been bombarded by videos of volunteers rolling up thick globs of oil in sand and putting them into plastic sacks, Bolsonaro sought to blame first Venezuela, then a “criminal action” to scupper a major oil tender. He has repeatedly attacked environmental protection agencies as a “fines industry” and has yet to visit affected areas.
Oil contaminating Brazil's beaches 'very likely from Venezuela', minister says
“There is clear revulsion over the government’s inaction,” said Marcus Melo, a professor of political science at the Federal University of Pernambuco in the north-east. “The government has a certain myopia in understanding how serious this is.”
On Monday, Bolsonaro’s vice-president Hamilton Mourão announced that 5,000 more troops will be dispatched to help clean up the spill, but for many Brazilians the response was too little, too late.
Joel de Oliveira Filho, 57, proprietor of a guesthouse on Carneiras beach – one of the most famous beaches in the north-east state of Pernambuco – joined other local residents who started cleaning up oil with help from city hall employees. Nobody from federal government was there, he said.
“People in the north-east are cleaning the oil from the coast with their own hands while the federal government is immobile,” he said.
In nearby Bahia, volunteers organised the group Coast Guardians to clean beaches. It has 19,000 followers on its Instagram and has raised $4,800 online for protective gloves, boots and masks.
“This is civil society getting organised. Our movement does not support any political party, we support nature,” said Miguel Sehbe Neto, 37, a company administrator from Salvador who runs one of its 20 beach teams. “What we want is an explanation and effective action.”
Their team had help from naval personnel and environment agency staff when cleaning up two local beaches. But the government has not been able to map the slicks or stop them reaching the coast, he said – and many other beaches still need help.
