Members of the Armed Forces and brigades from three public ministries began cleaning the area around Boca Chica that was affected by a small oil spill on Sunday. The Navy, the Specialized Port Safety Corps (CESEP), Dominican Port Authority brigades, Environmental and Customs workers all took part in the clean-up efforts. Beaches have been closed and beachgoers turned away in as a preventive measure. Reports indicate that 800 gallons of bunker C oil was spilled, allegedly from a hole in the ship's hull during an accident while docking at Caucedo. Hoy reports that a group of kids playing in the surrounding area warned Navy officials about the oil spill. A total of 10 cubic meters of sand will have to be removed from the surrounding beaches where the oil spread.
