Booms were deployed Friday night into Saturday to cordon off the Port of Scarborough to ensure the harbour and docking area remain free from the oil-like substance with additional booms deployed near the Gulfstream vessel to control the movement of pollution. text/html 2025-02-12T21:57:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://mauricepointner.at/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=0_public:environmental_and_safety:disaster:peat_moss&rev=1739397470&do=diff Peat Moss Kaizen allowed the THA to use their equipment to mitigate against further environmental damage, as it was already stored in Scarborough in the event of an oil spill. TEMA also had peat moss in stock, which can be used to encapsulate the oil-like substance for safe disposal. text/html 2025-02-12T21:57:51+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://mauricepointner.at/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=0_public:environmental_and_safety:disaster:sargassum&rev=1739397471&do=diff Sargassum Though a typical nuisance, the mats of sargassum have proven useful, as they were absorbing or encapsulating the oil-like substance on shore and nearshore, leading to easy removal from the marine environment. The removed sargassum has been transported to a sealed containment area in Studley Park, Tobago.
