Greenpeace has warned that chemicals from a cruise ship wreck were oozing into the sea around Italy’s picturesque Giglio Island but the environment ministry said the levels were not significant.
Greenpeace conducted a special research on Giglio between February 15 and 18, also said it had detected traces of hydrocarbons in drinking water. But the results are all below minimum reference levels in research carried out by the environment agency in the Tuscany region where Giglio is located.
Greenpeace also called in its report for more action by the government to protect a marine sanctuary for dolphins and whales around Giglio.
