In Fujairah, a swift response by the Fujairah Environment Authority's emergency team successfully contained an oil spill that threatened the shores of a public beach near several hotels. The incident came to light during one of the authority’s routine marine inspections, when a patch of oil was discovered spreading onto the shore.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Environment Authority worked closely with specialized companies, hotel management, and other stakeholders to immediately manage the spill. Teams took quick action to control the oil and prevent further spread, coordinating with local businesses to limit any impact on the area. Maritime observers also stepped up their patrols in the surrounding waters to ensure that the pollution did not extend further along the coast.

In collaboration with the Dibba Al-Fujairah Municipality, additional teams were dispatched to clean the sand on public beaches, ensuring that Fujairah's well-known golden shores remained safe and welcoming for residents and tourists alike. The quick cleanup effort allowed the beaches to remain accessible, minimizing the disruption for visitors.

The Fujairah Environment Authority has launched an investigation into the source of the oil spill and has vowed to hold those responsible accountable. Legal action will be pursued once the cause is confirmed.

The authority expressed its gratitude to the local hotel establishments for their prompt reporting of the issue, noting that their swift action played a critical role in the containment and management of the situation. It also urged the public to stay vigilant and report any potential environmental violations through its toll-free hotline, 800 368, to help protect Fujairah’s natural environment.
