The United Arab Emirates has closed beaches in several emirates due to an oil spill in the Persian Gulf. In Sharjah, Al Hamaria Beach is temporarily closed and in Ras Al Khaimah, all beaches are temporarily closed until further notice. In the past, restrictions were imposed in Umm al-Quwain. Military operations and increased attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz increase the risk of new leaks and damage to the marine ecosystem. Bloomberg.
