The Department of Environment has been on site in the area of Rosia Bay this weekend, supervising works to clean stranded oil from the coastline. 

A statement from the Government follows below:

Substantial improvement has been made over the weekend. Contaminated rocks and rubble have been individually assessed, with many being removed for cleaning off-site before being returned to their original location. Rocks containing marine life are cleaned manually on-site to minimise disruption to the coastal environment. 

There are currently no significant free floating sheen patches at sea. This is being constantly monitored.
