Xinhua News Agency, Antananarivo, August 29 (Reporter Wen Hao) Port Louis news: On the 29th local time, tens of thousands of Mauritian citizens launched a demonstration in the capital Port Louis to protest the government’s oil spill on the Japanese cargo ship "Waka Chao" Improper handling causes environmental pollution.

  More than 10,000 people, including some leaders of the opposition party in Mauritius, participated in the demonstration that day. The protesters, holding the Mauritian flag and various slogans, accused the Mauritian government of "negative" in the follow-up of the "Ruochao" oil spill, causing pollution of the offshore coral reefs and causing environmental damage.

On the 27th local time, a government official in Mauritius stated that seven more dolphins were found on a beach in Mauritius. The day before, 17 carcasses of dolphins washed up on the coast near the scene of a fuel spill from a Japanese freighter. The picture shows people handling dolphin carcasses.

  Mauritian Prime Minister Jagnarth said that the investigation is still ongoing, and he called on the Mauritian people to trust the results of the investigation by the relevant agencies.

  The Japanese cargo ship "Wakachao" ran aground in the waters southeast of Mauritius on July 25, and its crew evacuated. On August 6, the hull of the cargo ship broke and a large amount of fuel leaked. According to local media reports, the cargo ship carried about 4,000 tons of fuel oil, and at least 1,000 tons of fuel oil had leaked into the nearby sea. Mauritius therefore declared an "environmental emergency" on the 7th.

  The Mauritius Coast Guard recently reported that dozens of carcasses of melon head whales were found off the coast of southeastern Mauritius. The local fishery department believes that the deaths of these whales have nothing to do with the oil spill of the Ruochao. As of the 29th local time, the number of dead melon head whales has risen to 39.
