[01] Annual report on 'Sea Diamond' wreck
ANA-MPA/The impact of the 'Sea Diamond' wreck on the marine ecosystem in
Santorini is negligible, according to a report released by the Hellenic
Centre for Marine Research on Thursday. The report was based on research
conducted between November 2010 and May 2011, in the fourth such annual
report.
This found that there were no problems caused by the leak of fuel from the
sunken ship and that the quality of the sea water -- which is used by the
desalination unit in Oia to produce drinking water -- is excellent, while
marine life in the area was healthy and fish that were fished near the
wreck were safe for consumption and their concentration in heavy metals
was found to be comparable to that of fish from all over Greece.ana-mpa
Further, the concentration of heavy metals in the sea was found also
found to be the same as those traced in the open sea.ana-mpa
