#MauritiusOilDisaster 🇲🇺🇯🇵9/4 Japan’s @asahi & @kyodo_english reports the #MauritiusReefs remain ‘healthy’ despite the widespread #Wakashio oil spill. However, their reports contradict one another 💯 % in one critical aspect; the effects on the mangroves.Thread⤵️
Asahi reported this: "Eleven mangrove forests in the southeastern part of the island have been found to be CONTAMINATED by drifted oil. OIL-COATED SEAWEED REMAINS at the base of the mangroves." (via DeepL translation+edit. Emphasis added) digital.asahi.com/articles/ASN94…
Kyodo reported this: "NO ENTRY OF OIL has been confirmed in mangroves, and NO OIL COATING on their roots has been observed either (in the wetlands)," said Noriaki Sakaguchi, a deputy team leader and an ecosystem conservation expert" at JICA.

Repost: #MauritiusOilDisaster 🇲🇺🇯🇵 Japan's #NTV reports that 🇲🇺GoM has ASKED 🇯🇵GoJ to ASSIST with 1.2 billion MUR for "漁業支援費" (fisheries assistance cost). Final compensation amount for #Wakashio owner #Nagashiki is still to be determined.
This "fisheries assistance cost" will be allocated for the purchase of 100 near-sea fishing boats from 🇯🇵Japan and 🇱🇰Sri Lanka. The economic & ecological damage is still being assessed for full compensation, local media @lemauricien_com reported.

On this report, Japanese media @nikkei @asahi @tbs_news @livedoornews and @YahooNewsTopics reported as if the 🇲🇺GoM DEMANDED 🇯🇵GoJ to PAY instead of requesting for assistance. This angered Japanese people because they think only ship owner should be required to compensate.

CORRECTION: Japanese media has deliberately reported that 🇲🇺GoM has DEMANDED 🇯🇵GoJ to PAY. But in fact it was a REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. Japanese media has falsely reported that GoM is demanding this "assistance cost" as compensation. Japanese public is going furious.

2. 事態は途方もなく深刻だ。海域固有の生態系（世界でも最も美しいとされるサンゴ礁など）だけでなく、モーリシャスに住むすべての人びとの食糧事情や主要な収入源である観光、そして生活が脅かされるからだ。
