#MauritiusOilDisaster 🇲🇺🇯🇵9/4 Japan’s @asahi & @kyodo_english reports the #MauritiusReefs remain ‘healthy’ despite the widespread #Wakashio oil spill. However, their reports contradict one another 💯 % in one critical aspect; the effects on the mangroves.Thread⤵️
Asahi reported this: "Eleven mangrove forests in the southeastern part of the island have been found to be CONTAMINATED by drifted oil. OIL-COATED SEAWEED REMAINS at the base of the mangroves." (via DeepL translation+edit. Emphasis added) digital.asahi.com/articles/ASN94…
Kyodo reported this: "NO ENTRY OF OIL has been confirmed in mangroves, and NO OIL COATING on their roots has been observed either (in the wetlands)," said Noriaki Sakaguchi, a deputy team leader and an ecosystem conservation expert" at JICA.

Repost: #MauritiusOilDisaster 🇲🇺🇯🇵 Japan's #NTV reports that 🇲🇺GoM has ASKED 🇯🇵GoJ to ASSIST with 1.2 billion MUR for "漁業支援費" (fisheries assistance cost). Final compensation amount for #Wakashio owner #Nagashiki is still to be determined.
This "fisheries assistance cost" will be allocated for the purchase of 100 near-sea fishing boats from 🇯🇵Japan and 🇱🇰Sri Lanka. The economic & ecological damage is still being assessed for full compensation, local media @lemauricien_com reported.

On this report, Japanese media @nikkei @asahi @tbs_news @livedoornews and @YahooNewsTopics reported as if the 🇲🇺GoM DEMANDED 🇯🇵GoJ to PAY instead of requesting for assistance. This angered Japanese people because they think only ship owner should be required to compensate.
