Ecology
In August 2019, environmentalists are sounding the alarm in Tunisia. Near the noisy port of Gabes (Tunisia), through which phosphorites are exported, there is a cemetery of trawlers and rotting boats of fishermen, whose source of existence was destroyed by chemicals washed daily into the bay.
Annually, about 13 thousand tons of chemicals and other waste are merged into Gabes Bay, which was once a rich breeding ground for marine life. Local residents, thus deprived of previously numerous crabs and fish, nicknamed this area "deadly shore," and also blame chemical plants for the growth of cancers in the region.
Despite this, the Tunisian authorities intend to increase the export of phosphorites mined in the country, used for the production of phosphorus fertilizers.
