Jebel al-Zayt oil spill
The Jebel al Zayt oil spill occurred north of the Red Sea on June 16, 2010. It is considered to be the largest offshore spill in Egyptian history. The spill polluted around 100 miles (160 km) of coastline including tourist beach resorts.〔 Oil company officials in the port city of Suez said the spill was caused by a leak from an offshore oil platform in Jebel al-Zayt north of Hurghada owned by the Egyptian government's state-owned oil company, Geisum Oil.
==Environmental impacts==
The oil spill occurred in Egypt, north of the Red Sea. It polluted several tourist areas along the coastline of the Red Sea. The spill damaged areas that are home to popular diving sites with extensive underwater coral reefs. A number of beaches and resorts along the coast were affected greatly. Marine life in the Hurghada area was at risk of heavy damage but it was later discovered that there was very little damage to the marine life. Scientists believe that the environmental damage was limited due to strong currents and winds that pushed the oil quickly away from the underwater coral reefs, and towards the shoreline of Hurghada.〔 The affected areas have rich biodiversity that has a fragile ecosystem. Although it was unaffected environmentalist are still worried about disasters in the future and the potential danger it could inflict to the marine life.
