The oil spill, off the Kamarajar Port at Ennore, caused as a result of an accidental collision of two cargo ships, has spelt doom for the fisherfolk. When the sun rose that day, I saw the worst sight of my life — the blue expanse was covered in black. The 2004 Tsunami, the Vardah disaster… I’m yet to get the Government compensation for the cyclone, and now have to deal with the oil spill. I know the oil spill will have long-term effects on us. What is the effect of the oil spill on marine life?
