Several #seabird species, especially common guillemots and #puffins in the SEAPOP-colony Hornøya, are currently affected by an #oilspill. The source of the oil is unknown. Article in Norwegian - pictures speaking for themselves #pollution nrk.no/tromsogfinnmark/oljes…

Oljesøl dreper utrydningstruede sjøfugler i Finnmark – jakt på kilden til utslippet

Tung, seig olje har rammet hundrevis av utrydningstruede sjøfugler i naturreservatet på Hornøya i Finnmark. Ingen vet hvor dødsfellen befinner seg i havet.
