A university professor has given his view on the tanker crash off the East Coast of Yorkshire earlier this week.
Professor Rodney Forster is from the Hull Marine Laboratory at the University of Hull.
He feels there could be a big impact on Bridlington and its sealife:
He says the impact of this weeks tanker collision on the maritime environment will need to be monitored over the coming weeks and months:
The professor did say there's some positives to add though:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
