The beach tar was the residue of the Syrian oil spill that occurred at the end of August.
SPOT called on the public to monitor and/or collect any tar which might be found on nearby beaches. Better coordination is needed and assistance is being offered by SPOT in case of urgent need.
A statement issued by SPOT said, “If you can reach us on Facebook/Instagram/E-mail/1188 with the short number – 0533 825 47 90 and leave your name, the region you are staying in, and how much tar you have seen/collected from which beaches, we can fight this disaster more effectively, hand in hand“.
Anyone wishing to take part in a beach clean-up can do so by using the contact information given above.
