Oil spill after Iranian attacks on tankers pollutes UAE shores”: Beaches have already been closed in 3 Emirates. "Oil from tankers attacked by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz reaches the shores of the United Arab Emirates. Black oil slicks pollute beaches and pose a threat to sea turtles, dolphins and other marine life. The first oil spill reached the coast of the United Arab Emirates, after which the local authorities closed beaches in three emirates. The pollution has already affected one of the coastal areas, where dark water reaches the shore directly. At the same time, Dubai's popular beaches have not yet been affected. The developments complicate the UAE's efforts to maintain its image as a safe tourist destination and persuade vacationers to return to the region. The authorities are eager to prove that life in the country continues as usual, despite the consequences of the conflict."
