The battle of the beaches in Brittany

The battle of the beaches in Brittany

Following the sinking of the tanker Torrey Canyon, an oil spill fell on the Breton coast. The population, armed with buckets, pumps and helped by the military, mobilized to clean the beaches invaded by oil slicks. The Minister of the Interior, Christian FOUCHET, went to see the disaster. The volunteers spread sawdust on the oil slicks so that they can form a chipboard that can be burned. Despite the scale of the disaster, the authorities estimate that the beaches will be cleaned up for the next holiday. Cleaning pink granite rocks is particularly difficult. Many birds have died as a result of this oil spill, but some can be saved after being washed of the hydrocarbon film.
