A new peer-reviewed study from researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington; the University of Nevada, Reno; Mokwon University in Daejeon, Korea; and Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi shows the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill of 2010 affected wildlife and their habitat much more than previously understood. The work is published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin. "Overall, we found the area of deep-sea floor affected by the DWH spill was significantly larger than previously thought," said Masoud Rostami, an author of the study and assistant professor of instruction in UTA's Division of Data Science.

Today’s Problematic Ship is the MV Ultra Galaxy

The MV Ultra Galaxy is a 125 m oil tanker. On July 9, 2024, she ran aground off the west coast of South Africa, en route from from Malaga, Spain, to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. All 18 crew members were safely evacuated.

In rough weather, the MV Galaxy sustained damage and on August 18, oil was detected in the surrounding waters. She subsequently broke up, leading to intensified clean-up efforts from the South African Maritime Safety Authority and other authorities. The extent of the oil spill and cause of the grounding are currently unknown pending further investigation.

Kroelian EISCUE

It is beleived EISCUE arrived to Kroel when a small group of them came floating on a glaciar from Galar. Unfortunately for them, they arrived to the northern shore of Kroel, a zone where oil naturally spils into the sea, affecting both the enviroment and the pokemon. Eventually they were able to adapt, but they have changed a lot from their Galarian counterparts.

It has the ability "Flammable" and this ability will make it change its form and type depending on certain conditions

In its Oily form it becomes a Poison type. In this form its head and body are covered by a layer of natural oil, this makes him inmune to water type moves but if its hit with a fire type move, or gets burnt, the oil will ingnite and will change into its "burning form" In its Burning form it becomes a Fire type. The oil that covers its body starts burning, its attack increases and contact with it may leave the foe burnt, but if hit with a water type move or if it starts raining the fire will burn out In its Burn outform it becomes a Ghost Type. The oil protecting its body dissapears, leaving a cloud of thick white smoke in its place, its attack and defense will decrease, but all pokemons accuracy in the battle will be lowered too due to the smoke, it will remain like this until switched out or hit by a poison type move

This EISCUE can be found in the same are as Kroelian SANDYGAST & PALOSSAND

The Kanien'kehá:ka Nation at Kahnawà:ke, the traditional seat of government for the community south of Montreal, is calling for compensation from the provincial and federal governments after an oil spill traced to the neighbouring city of Châteauguay seeped onto its territory.

The nation says Kahnawà:ke community members only became aware of the presence of fuel seepage more than a week after an industrial spill took place in early February.

Several dozen Kahnawà:ke residents and members of the nation, also known as the Longhouse, presented themselves at Châteauguay's city hall Friday morning to meet Mayor Éric Allard.
