An increase in cases of sea pollution has been recorded in Limassol!

An increase in cases of sea pollution has been recorded in Limassol!

In recent days, complaints from Limassol residents about cases of sea pollution in the city area have become more frequent.

The Limassol Municipality emphasized that the source of pollution in most cases is located in the sea and not on land, and the participation of competent government authorities is required to combat this phenomenon.

In the morning, around 07:30, the contracting company responsible for providing marine pollution prevention and control services under a contract with the municipality reported another pollution incident. The company immediately began to deal with the consequences and also informed the competent authorities, including the Deputy Ministry of Shipping and the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research.

The results of investigations of all recorded pollution incidents, both current and past years, confirm that the sources of pollution are almost always located at sea.

The Limassol Municipality notes that it is doing everything possible to resolve the problem, but calls for the active participation of government agencies with the necessary resources to combat pollution and hopes for coordinated action from the Deputy Ministry of Shipping and for a speedy investigation into the current incident.
